It was originally scheduled to be released theatrically on April 20, 2018, in the United States under the title Dolphins with narration by Owen Wilson, but was confirmed to be taken off the theatrical calendar the week of release. It was then announced that the film would be released at the launch of Disney+, making it the first Disneynature film to be released exclusively on the streaming platform in the United States, with Natalie Portman narrating, but Disney+ launched without Dolphin Reef being available to watch.

The film was finally released alongside Elephant as a Disney+ exclusive on April 3, 2020. Dolphin Reef received largely positive critical reviews.
