My brother and I spent a morning at dolphin discovery 10th may 2013. The receptionist was'nt able to book my brother in that morning to a pre- arranged group because they were full, of course we were disappointed as it was our last day in Mexico and my brothers only chance to swim with dolphins while on holiday.

Dolphin talking under my window was one of the best parts of my trip. And we couldnt stand visiting this great creautures. Place itself is very convenient. I booked a royal swim for my wife and was able to take a lot of pictures on my canon eos 50 from all the points because u will stay 10 meters away... More

I have wanted to swim with a dolphin for as long as I can remember. It was everything I could have hoped for and I got to swim with two dolphins. In addition you will learn about dolphin anatomy and get to spend some time interacting with them. My wife and I attended this facility and got the sea life... More

We took our three children, ages 5,4 and 22 months on the Encounter tour. The kids loved the experience! It was just the right amount of time for the kids in the water. It was a bit pricey for the 30 min in the pool. And the $120 photo package at the end was a little much. But, my kids... More

My daughters swam with the dolphins and manatees on our recent trip to Puerto Aventuras. My twelve year old was a bit apprehensive about the foot push, so she did the Dolphin Adventure. This included a belly ride, a boogie board push, free swim with the dolphins, kayaking, and LOTS OF SMILES! My thirteen year old was a bit more... More

We got a discount on our "Royal" package (thank goodness) and it was still pricey. Where they get you is on the photo package, it's an additional cost, expect to spend over $100 USD. However, if it's something you've never experienced the expense is well worth it. Loved the manatees too, they are so grand.

Pick up and return to/from our hotel was on time, driver was polite. We had pre-booked our Royal swim for 7 people on-line direct with Dolphin Discovery before we left the UK and upon our arrival booking in was quick and easy. Included in our price was return transportation, lockers and lunch. We were a little early so stood and... More

Even though we had a few teething issues with the booking, once we were in the park it was worth every cent. You dont feel like you are entering an amusement, animal exploitation park. They were super professional, no wasting time around, straight in the water and we spent a lot of time with the dolphins. We did the dolphin... More
