Underwater explorer Jean-Michel Cousteau navigates the awe-inspiring coral reefs of the Bahamas and descends to the warm depths of the Kingdom of Tonga to take viewers on a wondrous journey beneath the ocean waves and into a world seldom seen by landlocked surface-dwellers. Narrated by Daryl Hannah and presented in stunning IMAX 3-D, Dolphins and Whales takes viewers right into the underwater habitats of wild dolphins and majestic belugas. A chance to watch a Humpback mother nurture her newborn calf, gaze into the eyes of singing male Humpbacks, swim alongside the mighty orca, and share an unforgettable moment with the friendly manatee all allow the viewer to truly understand the daily lives of these amazing ocean-dwellers, and the opportunity to witness their remarkable communication methods and social interactions highlight the many commonalities between humankind and our friends beneath the ocean surface.
