Enjoy a unique morning dining experience at SeaWorld Yas Island Abu Dhabi, with dolphins swimming beside you
Breakfast plans don’t usually come with a side of dolphins, but that’s exactly what’s happening on Sunday, 17 May at the SeaWorld Yas Island Abu Dhabi.
From 8.30am to 10am, the Waterside Café in the Tropical Ocean habitat is hosting ‘Breakfast with Dolphins’, a morning experience that blends dining with one of the most unusual views you’ll get in Abu Dhabi.
Instead of a regular café setting, you’re seated right by the water as dolphins swim just metres away while you eat.
This is a setting that feels a bit out of the ordinary without being complicated or overly staged. It’s not a show you sit and watch from a distance; the dolphins are part of the environment, moving through the water as you have breakfast.
On the menu side, it’s a relaxed café-style breakfast with the focus more on the atmosphere than anything formal or structured.
While you’re eating, there are light activities and entertaining touches throughout the morning, along with interesting facts about dolphins and their behaviour.

The Tropical Ocean area is designed to feel immersive, so you’ve got warm, aquatic surroundings and natural light reflecting off the water.
There is one important detail to keep in mind: the ticket is only valid for the breakfast experience area. It does not include full-day access to the park or general admission to other attractions, so it’s best viewed as a standalone morning activity rather than a full visit.
That said, it’s a pretty easy plan to fit into a weekend. You show up, sit by the water, have breakfast while dolphins glide past, and finish before most people have even started thinking about lunch.
For anyone looking for something different from a standard café brunch, this is one of those rare “only in Abu Dhabi” type mornings.
AED295. Sunday, 17 May, 8.30pm-10.30m. Yas Island. For further information, visit Breakfast With Dolphins
