 Dolphin swims 

My daughter and I are leaving for Cancun on Wednesday. Top on my daughters' list is swimming with the Dolphins. Would it be better to book this now online or wait until I get there? We are staying at the Flamingo. La Isla is closest but heard the Discovery Swim at the Isla Mujeres???? is the best. How easy is it to get to or is the La Isla one about as good?

Dolphin Discovery is the best but there is a dolphin swim at the Plaza La Isla at the interactive Aquairum. From the Flamingo, Plaza La Isla is just up the road about a 5 min bus ride. It is on the left side if they are bringing you in from the airport, keep your eye out for it.

Hi ya

me and my boyfriend went to Cancun in Spetember and we swam with them at the aqurium, it was brilliant, where as from what we heard from toher people they didint get in the water straight away, you spend the full hour in the water with them swimming around you.

we did the $115 swim which is the best one. we got pics of them kissing us, holding fins and did the footpush. you have 2 dolphins with two groups so thatf our dolphins in the pol at a time. The instructors are brilliant and have a real laugh with you and the dolphins. they swim around you you can touch, they get them to talk to you and everything. After we bought the video of the whole experience for $29 which is really good and got the pics as well.

Also take an underwater camera with you, you can use them as well and we got some brilliant pics ourselves, plus here you get to go in the aqurium first and look at everything else, pluds that evening if you keep your band on you can watch the dolphin show for free.

enjoy!!!

I did the Dolphin Discovery at Isla Mujures. It was the highlight of my trip. I think I would have also liked the one at Puerto Aventuras as you can also swim with the Manatees. I would go there next time. Mujures offered swimming with the rays and sharks. I would advise against it. I thought it was awful, too many people kicking up sand around the rays so you couldn't really see them well.
