Yes it is amazing to ride and swim with the dolphins, however it was not what I expected. The cruiseline made a mistake with my reservation therefore I had to wait all day (until 2pm) to be able to go there. The place is close to the port, they have taxis to pick you up and drop you there. Which... More

We had an incredible experience here. We booked on-line so it was cheaper. When we got there, my kids were the only children registered and so they gave them a PRIVATE, hour long experience. What?? It was amazing...the pictures were also fabulous and they LET us take our own pics too...which was nice and I think unusual for places of... More

Our visit to the Dolphinaris was fantastic, well worth the tour cost and everything we expected it to be. As other reviewers have mentioned, the photo and DVD pricing is a little steep. Realistically there was no way we would pay the asking price. We simply declined. After thinking about it for a while, we asked if there could be... More

I did this experience once about 5 years ago and am planning on doing it on my up and coming trip in a few weeks. I loved it the first time around. My only concern is the pictures. By the sounds of it the prices have sky rocketed in the past few years. My question here is ... how many... More

My 12 yr old and I went to this as an excursion on our cruise. The staff were very knowledgable and friendly. One thing to know is that they do not allow you to wear sunscreen during the encounter. I had heard you could wear sea safe sunscreen, so I bought some at port. When we got to the Dolphinaris,... More

My neice did the swim with dolphins at Chankanahab a few years ago. She loved it. I'm posting because the management of this place states that individuals are not allowed to take their own photos due to "dolphin safety". I'm not sure what that would be since the staff is taking plenty of photos. However, at Chankanahab I was allowed... More

My family went to Dolphinaris Cozumel as part of a week long vacation. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the park and the care of the animals. The staff were helpful and knowledgeable. There is more to the park than just dolphins, including some other attractions and gift shops. Parents traveling with small children should be aware that some... More

We did the dolphin experience as an excursion on a cruise with lunch and transportation included. This was one of the best excursions we have ever done. It was tons of fun and educational. Unfortunately they don't allow any photos or video so if you want to show your family or friends you have to buy the overpriced photos and/or... More
