Dolphin Discovery was a very professional company that we used for "Swim with Dolphins" adventure. I've done a dolphin encounter once before (in the Bahamas) and I must say that the actual experience with the dolphins on Isla Mujeres was superb, fantastic, excellent. Our trainer gave us plenty of time with our Dolphin, Madonna, and was very generous in letting... more

We booked this excursion as Royal Garaffon with Royal Swim. We took a large boat to Isla Mujeres from Cancun (an approximate hour). We boarded at 9:30AM. The boat ride was fun. Breakfast buffet on the boat (we did not eat as we had already eaten breakfast). Open bar on boat as well. We arrived at Isla Mujeres at the... more

I booked the dolphin encounter online about a month in advance. Great deal ~ $59 for kids, $69 for grown-ups, kids under 5 free. We were worried when we first boarded the ferry. There was a lot of 'hurry up and wait' as well as repeated announcements. There was also a lot of attempt to upsell us ~ snorkeling trips,... more

My wife and I booked the Royal Swim - sea lion, dolphin and manatee interactions. By the time we were done with the sea lion to start the day, we were thrilled with our choice. Sea Lion: You get kisses, you can pet the animal and learn a bit about the creature. Dolphins: Lengthy, close-up interaction allows you to see... more

ROYAL SWIM- small groups and 1 hour in the water with 2 dolphins! I have done simillar dolphin swims but this one took the cake! The trainer "Max" was really charismatic and knowledgeable (really hot too!). There is alot of interaction (with the dolphins); hugs, kisses, petting, shaking "hands", feeding, dorsal fin ride, foot push. There is an opportunity for... more

This was a great place to begin our vacation! Very clean! Friendly staff! Food is ok, but convenient and plentiful. At the beginning of the day, the waiters get you signed up for this. One offered our group a price of $600 pesos, another offered us $475, so haggle! My 8yo and I enjoyed the Dolphin Swim Adventure, booked online... more

We opted for the Royal swim and Garrafon park package, and went with 2 other adults. This was at the end of August 2009. We got picked up from Riviera Maya and dropped off at the Cacun port to board the ferry to Isla Mujures. Was impressed with the boat standard and it was all inclusive so as much drink/food... more

My husband and I and our two children (7 and 9) were thrilled with this outing. We enjoyed the breakfast on the ferry. The staff were great, with cudos to Matteo for giving us tips and refills. We were one of the first groups to swim with the dolphins at 10:30 and we all enjoyed the encounter. The food at... more

I got the excursion at a steal from their website. My best friend and I bought the Swim Adventure and that's exactly what we got! First we departed Cancun and Aqua Tours Marina and we took an hour long boat ride to Isla Mujeres. They served drinks and sweet bread on the boat and you have the choice of walking... more

Went on the trip as our eldest daughter had always wanted to swim with dolphins. The dolphin swim was expensive but not unreasonable - we got a fair amount of time with the animals and did the standard stuff (posing for hugs, pushed/pulled 20m) which was fun to do (once). Rest of the day was at the wildlife/beach park which... more
