If you’re looking for the best place to swim with dolphins in Cancun this is the right place for you!At Dolphinaris, we provide people of all ages the opportunity to make their dreams come true. We see the evidence of this every day as we watch the faces of our guests when they meet one of our dolphins for the very first time.Located next to, but not part of the water park Wet ´n Wild and easy to get to with public transportation Dolphinaris is the best option for swimming with dolphins in Cancun! * We are a multimillion-dollar investment and the most advanced dolphinariums in Mexico, only in some places in the U.S.A. have the same technology we have, providing you the best quality in all aspects unlike other dolphinariums that only use a simple fishing net at the sea beach, where in addition to swimming with dolphins, you swim with algae, waves, ocean currents, ship oil and gas, you also swims with the dolphins waste, exposing you to severe skin or vital organs infections. Avoid all that... next time choose dolphinaris! « less

“refusal to refund incorrect cc billing / borderline fraud”

My girlfriend and I visited Dolphinaris in Cancun on the 25th of February 2012. After our visit, we left a raving 5-star review about the place, which I have included below. However, events in the aftermath of our visit have led us to drastically change our view on Dolphinaris Cancun. Here is what happened, and why we now give this... More

“A great experience!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2012 NEW

We stayed at Sun Palace Resort and used some of our "credits" for a dolphin swim. We interacted with the dolphins for around 45 mins. This included kiss, handshake, fin ride, pats, cuddles and tricks. The trainer was very good, and the whole experience was very enjoyable. Photos and videos were overpriced, but this was the only real negative. More

“Great experience!”

We loved swimming with the dolphins the only complaint is that your not allowed to take your own pictures, they have a photographer there and you have to buy the pictures you want for an arm and a leg! More

“Interactive fun!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2012 NEW

This was the only dolphin swim I've ever done, and I loved it. Granted, I didn't have to pay for it, so that made it even better. I would say it is worth the price, IF they threw in at least one picture. Paying for the experience and then just as much (at the cheapest) for pictures, is crazy! It... More

“The most amazing experience with gentle giants.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 May 2012 NEW

My daughter and husband were the ones that swam with the dolphins. They both had the time of their lives. However, I thought the price of the photographs was INSANE!!! The cheapest package was 2 for $69.00. Come on!! We all know in this day and age of digital photography that it does NOT justify the price of these photos.... More
