The Dolphin Fantasy is a new, dolphin-themed aquarium in the Hakkeijima Sea Paradise. The tank for the bottlenose and Pacific white-sided dolphins is domed, and is a place where the sea floor environment can be enjoyed. There is no roof above the dome so that a natural view from the sea bottom is obtained. The cylindrical tank for the white whales can be viewed from 360° on the surrounding floor and its theme is communication between human beings and dolphins.
