If you’re looking for the best place to swim with dolphins in Cancun this is the right place for you!At Dolphinaris, we provide people of all ages the opportunity to make their dreams come true. We see the evidence of this every day as we watch the faces of our guests when they meet one of our dolphins for the very first time.Located next to, but not part of the water park Wet ´n Wild and easy to get to with public transportation Dolphinaris is the best attraction for swimming with dolphins in Cancun! * We are a multimillion-dollar investment and the most advanced dolphinariums in Mexico, only in some places in the U.S.A. have the same technology we have, providing you the best quality in all aspects unlike other dolphinariums that only use a simple fishing net at the sea beach, where in addition to swimming with dolphins, you swim with algae, waves, ocean currents, ship oil and gas, you also swims with the dolphins waste, exposing you to severe skin or vital organs infections. Avoid all that... next time choose dolphinaris! « less

Gotta say this has been something I have wanted to do since I first went to Cancun and I thought, what the heck, lets do it. I opted for the most expensive experience, $129.00, for one hour total, but feel it was worth it for the interactions. The last interaction they do is a dolphin foot push where they have... More

Okay... Everyone has been to Sea World??? You already have done most of this tour. Petting Dolphins as they swim by your hands. 2/3 of the 1/2 hour of actual time with the Dolphins. The other third is cute photo op tricks that they photograph and sell to you later at more than you paid for the tour. FACT! Now...... More

We spent 60minutes with these great dolphins and it was perfect, you get to do many things with them. (touching, kissing, tricks, hand gestures) I did the toe push and it was the best thing ive done. The staff are excellent and the environment and the grounds are amazing, very clean and they treat the dolphins very well.

We spent quite some time with the dolphins in the water, petting them, getting a "kiss", holding their fins, and getting a foot-push or holding on to their fins as they pull you through the water. It's a group activity, though, in a pool, i.e, don't expect a transformative experience with just you and a dolphin out in the water.... More
