A fun 8-hour dolphin encounter on Isla Mujeres from Cancún, with ferry, an underwater platform visit, buffet lunch, and pool time.
“the dolphin encounter was great.the whole family enjoyed the day.buffet was just enough.the guide taught all kinds of great information about the dolphins.the pictures are expensive.”
Cancun interactive aquarium with a small-group dolphin swim: 20 minutes in the water, 10 activities, plus presentation and admission.
“We loved being in the pool and interacting with the dolphins but for the money didn’t seem long enough. By the time we checked in, got changed and had a talk about the dolphin, we had a few photos then it finished. 15 minutes with the dolphins for what we paid was a bit expensive for a family on a budget. That was without any photos. We then had to pay $53 per photo or they had packages which worked out cheaper but still very expensive in total.”

“Interacting with the dolphins was a very special experience. I would do it again. The trainer Marco with Apollo and Mincho was super friendly. However, the promised buffet was not available. There was one meal, which wasn't very good. Nevertheless, it was still very nice.”
