It really wowed me! You actually swim with dolphins! You can touch them, ride on them and they through you outside the water! Unforgettable experience and made me falling in love with dolphins! More

I've swam with Dolphins in Mexico and was quite looking forward to doing it again here.. It dodn't quite have the wow factor so I didn't bother. I just watched the Dolphin show instead. More

I visited the Delfinario as part of a day trip with my family. As the price of seeing the dolphins was included in the trip I think it was slightly cheaper than going there yourself. However this was not cheap! We swam with the dolphins for a very short time, and although it was good the whole experience felt very... More

Had a nice time. The show was not very long, but enjoyable. Before the start, a wonderful Cuban band of merry men set up and played.I actually got up and busted a move and had a wonderful time with them, my best friend bought their CD for 10 pesos, it actually worked back home. Beautiful music. Had pictures with dolphins... More

The dolphin show was pretty interesting, nothing out of the ordinary. More than I was willing to pay to actually swim with dolphins. Would be great for kids!! More

The swim with a dolphin is worth every penny and a memory to treasure. The show is probably one of the worst dolphin shows we have seen but watch-able. There were hundreds of people watching and we thought the swim would be poor but most only paid for the show. You swim in a group of about 8 for half... More

Delfinario is not a nice place to visit, it is very hot, Dolphins are penned in a lagoon that looks dirty and sad. The show was short but entertaining. We went after the Catamarin trip to Cayo Blanco and it was an unnecessary add on we had to wait for ever on the bus for the people who paid to... More

The park is a bit sad looking, with some tiny enclosures that presumably had animals in at one point? There is a cafe next to a childrens play area both of which were very tired looking. The staff couldn't be faulted though, I would hazard a guess that the dolphin show is run by a family team. One of the... More
