I have done the Puerto Vallarta dolphin encounter before, so I have something to compare this to. I think the overall program in PV was better. That being said, I did enjoy the dolphin portion of this tour very much, especially the foot push, which I did not previously get to do. They split everyone up into groups according to... more

I have swam with dolphins before but have never seen a manatee (except on tv) and have only seen see lions at an aquarium so I decide to go with the full package called Sea Life Discovery Plus and it was well worth the $199USD. Last week I was picked up at my hotel at 7:30am and and a Puerto... more

I went to swim with the sea lions. More of a encounter really. Left my hotel at 1045, Swim at 1200...over and out of the wate, ready to return by 1pm...left to wait for a ride back to the hotel 3pm. Wasted day. Swim with the sea lions fun...you get to hug the sea lions etc...lots of photos taken which... more

We loved PV and swimming with the dolphins but we did the sea lion encounter and there was major problems. They are alittle pushy with the photos but I brought my own disposible underwater camera. I bought it at walmart before we went to the sea life park . I felt wierd using it but they never said I couldnt.... more

I would have had a great time with the dolphins if the whole process wasnt so driven towards making as much money as possible off of visitors. ..or at least if it wasnt so obvious. The jokes are recycled...you can tell all the staff have been saying the same things to each group all day. Once you watch the video... more

My family and I just returned from a cruise vacation to Mexico where we had the pleasure to visit the Sea Life Park in Puerto Vallarta. The park features the Dolphin Discovery where you can pay to interact with their dolphins (various programs with a range of prices). This was, without question, a major highlight of our vacation. The level... more

A group of 7 of us went there from Playa del Carmen. 2 of us participated in the Encounter and 4 in the Royal Swim. Overall, we enjoyed it, but I have some caveats. We did this in July 2008. First off, my biggest complain is the "free" transportation. We booked this. A bus picked us up at our hotel... more

I went to Dolphin Discovery and did the Royal Swim on June 19, 2008. At first, I was a little nervous, because there seemed to be almost 20 people ready to do the same thing and thought that I would be rushed. But I was wrong. After the whole group watched a video about what hand signals to do with... more

Well....as we booked our hols with Thomas Cook we also booked to go to dolphin discovery with them, definately worthwhile as they organise you alot better than all the other people milling around! We paid about £100 each, which sounds expensive, but it is well worth it for the 'Sea life plus' programme. Firstly we swam with manitees and sea... more
