This new dolphinarium was inaugurated on June 7, 2019. The installation is owned and operated by Grupo de Turismo Gaviota and its company Marinas Gaviota S.A. Accessible by land and sea, it’s located in the "Ensenada Bautista" (Bautista bight) to the northeast of the island of Cayo Coco, next to the Marina Gaviota Cayo Coco (aka Marina Aguas Tranquilas).
It's the largest dolphinarium in Cuba and the third one built in the Jardines del Rey archipelago; after the Acuario Delfinario Cayo Santa Maria (2011) and the Delfinario Cayo Guillermo (2012).
The Acuario Delfinario Cayo Coco has large semi-natural enclosures allowing the circulation of sea water and to be interrelated with other species of the marine biodiversity. Other services found at the Delfinario include: A restaurant, a bar, bathrooms, and professional Photo Service.
