Iki Dolphin Park & Resort is a popular spot. You can interact with lovely dolphins up-close in a park that occupies a natural cove on Iki-no-shima. There are experiences available that allow you to actually touch and feed the dolphins. There is no doubt you will be soothed by them. Of course, you can also take your photograph together with the dolphins. In addition, we recommend you appreciate Iki with a day camp and barbecue that take advantage of the rich nature of the island. There is a stylish cafe where you can look outside on the premises. You can enjoy coffee, fluffy pancakes and wonderful dishes made with local ingredients (e.g., Iki beef).

These aquatic mammals are actually smaller relatives of whales, and they begin to swim down to this area from the north every autumn, when they follow schools of squid, Japanese amberjack, Pacific saury, and sardine. The dolphins at this park swim freely and visitors can interact with these engaging creatures that have unique names, personalities, and expressions. Find your favorite dolphin when you visit!
