To swim with the dolphins is a memorable experience that will last a lifetime. What gentle giants they are. Delfinit was run timely and the guide/insturctor was easily understood. His english was excellent. They do not allow photos by individuals however they take a good quality photo and allow you to preview and purchase any you wish at $8. each.... more

We paid online for tickets to go to the DELFINITI attraction in Ixtapa and they took our money and never sent us our tickets. I have emailed them like 20 times, I have paid a fortune calling them and it either just rings or the man says "I will have someone call you back" and NOBODY calls me back. On... more

Great time. I took my three year old son. Do be aware that you are not able to take pictures of family in the pool with the dolphins. They want $8 US per picture that they take or $80 US for a poorly made video. If family want to watch, they also want $5 US per person. They love quoting... more

Had a great time doing the dolphin swim. Don't forget to grab a towel from the hotel before you go, because they do not have any there.. English instruction in the pool was fine. There are several people around who know Spanish and English.. it was a great experience!! more

Swimming with Chico (a Cuban dolphin) and Mia (a Mexican dolphin and the bebe) was one of the coolest things we've ever done. My husband and I and two Canadian ladies had these two delightful creatures all to ourselves, under the watchful eye of their trainer, Rafael. They swam in figure eights around us. We got to pet them, hug,... more

it is a great experience that everyone should do at least once. the staff is wonderful and the dolphins are beautiful. The only recommendation would be for women to wear a full piece bathing suit. When the dolphins push you by your feet, a two piece does not stay where it should. even though the photos are expensive... they are... more

I went to Delfinit March 16, 2007. This was my first dolphin encounter. Words can not explain how beautiful the dolphins are i had a chance to meet the father dolphin Chocho and his baby. I found the staff from delfinit to be friendly and more then helpful. The photographer took great pictures, and the trainers were fantastic you can... more

Not as much fun as I expected, but still worth doing if you have not done before like me. Trainers were generally friendly, but their assistants did not speak good english, and were not helpful. They take pictures of you with the Dolphins and you can buy copies, but the person helping us was useless and provided incorrect information. We... more

My husband and I went in March of '06. We loved it. It seemed like a lot of money but after you do it, it seems very affordable. We are going back to Ixtapa in March of '07 and we plan on doing it again. Dolphins were well cared for and the trainers made sure you were comfortable with everything.... more

We loved Delfiniti. We have a 8 year old daughter and she loved it. It was worth every penny. Would go again in an instant. As soon as we left our daughter wanted to go back the next day. Order the video before you swim with the dolphins, it is only $24.00 instead of $30.00. Book it yourself, don't go... more
