The facility is beautiful, the dolphin trainers are great with the guests and the dolphins. This place is very clean and safe. We had a great time and an excellent experience. If you have never swam with the dolphins this place is a great place to do it. The groups are small and the trainers make sure everyone has an... More

We did the Dolphin Swim Adventure. It was much cheaper than one I've done in the Florida Keys. My husband and I were supposed to be in a group with 8 other people but we ended up being the only two because we did the last appointment of the day and no one else had booked that one. The trainer... More

My husband and I booked the Royal Swim while taking a Royal Caribbean cruise last week, and we had an unforgettable time. We booked the 11 A.M. slot, and they were on time. Our guide spoke to us in English, which helped as our Spanish is minimal. Each time slot accomodates up to 10 people, but since we only had... More

Overall, it's expensive but it was a great experience for the family. We did the push, pull, and swim version of it via a cruise. The trainers and staff (except the photo people inside the shop) were quite nice and helpful. Just note that given the group sizes, you spend more time treading water than actually interacting with the dolphins.... More

Did the dolphin adventure while on a cruise. The park is gorgeous. The trainers and park staff are so friendly and helpful. The dolphins were SO much fun. If you are in Cozumel, Dolphin Discovery is a MUST do! More

This was a great excursion, easy to book, and definitely worth the money. Me and my sister prebooked about a month before our trip to Mexico because we knew this was something we had to do. We booked the Royal Swim which was $139, but we got it for $105 for booking early :) This one includes the following: Foot... More

My family booked this excursion on our own as the NCL dolphin excursion was quite pricey. Our family of four only had to pay $10 for a cab ride to the Chankanaab Park from the port. We also took advantage of the Royal Swim package that was $129.00 for 1 person and $1 for the second. Myself, husband, son (18)... More

My husband and I went to Dolphin Discovery on the Grand Cayman. It was beautiful surroundings and everyone was great! It's been a dream of mine to swim with dolphins since I was little. This was a great place to live that dream! Thank you Dolphin Discovery! More

We arrived in Cozumel via NCL Spirit and took a van for $22 to the park. Our family of six including 4 teens had a wonderful time and had booked our stuff independently from the ship excursions for much less money. Four of us did the Manatee experience and had a blast feeding them lettuce. Two did the dolphin royal... More

A really unique experience. A bit pricey, but you get a good amount of contact time with the dolphins. Bring a waterproof camera (they charge $22 for one there). Pictures are expensive (digital disc costs $150), but the quality of the pics are good. More
