I went to the interactive aquarium (90 pesos per person) with my family. The aquarium is very small but we enjoyed we were able to touch the rays. I wanted my family do the Dolphin encounter just by themselves since I did the dolphin encounter a year ago in The Bahamas (Blue Lagoon). I decided to record since I was... More

We went here because my wife wanted to swim with dolphins and she could go alone as it was very quiet. It was a nice experience, but the aquarium itsself was very small and hardly bigger then our local fish shop so for me it was quite a let down.

Its a sad sad sight to see the dolphins trapped in the two small pools, with people swimming with them, there is a mixture of wild and captive bred dolphins in what can only be described totaly inadequate pools

Enjoyed a photo op with close up dolphin action. People directing the interaction did good briefings in English and Spanish and maintained good group control to the benefit of the humans and the people.

This was our second visit to the Interactive Aquarium inside of La Isla. My sons enjoy touching the various animals as well as viewing the dolphin show.

Did the advanced dolphin swim. You can take your own pictures and the pictures they take do not cost an arm and a leg.

There's also a shark exhibit. We did the shark... More

They take pictures of you underwater but a single picture is 25$.... so bring your underwater camera! The aquarium itself... More
