"I have always wanted to swim with dolphins"

Ever since i was child i have always wanted to swim with dolphins and when i went to Riviera Maya in the summer of 2009 i was able to have this expereince. Visiting Delphinus was one of greatest experiences of my life so far and was the best part of my holiday, i would recommend anyone to visit Delphinus if they want to swim with dolphins : )

Beautiful day!, this dolphin someday will get a tour for swimming with the Whale Sharks at the paradise of Holbox

Hermoso día, y algún día este delfin también se comprará su tour para ir a nadar con el Tiburón Ballena en el paraiso Holbox

Testimonials

My experience with Delphinus was incredible. This was unlike anything I had ever done, but always dreamed about. The staff was excellent and very knowledgeable. I was amazed at how long we were able to spend in the water with the dolphins. Having the dolphins push me out of the water with their noses was my favorite part. I ended up buying the video and all of the pictures that were taken by the staff! I wanted to have a record of that memory forever!

Take Care!! ...I think I had one of the main instructors - He inspected the dolphins and was more outspoken than the other instructors.

Ya tiene nombre la cría de Chuiquilá.

Yaakun es el nombre de la cría de Chuiquilá. Al dar los resultados del concurso para bautizar a la cría de delfín se decidió que éste es el mejor nombre. Yaakun significa Amor en lengua maya . Lourdes Norely fue la niña afortunada al ganar el concurso para bautizar a la cría, haciéndose acreedora de un viaje redondo para dos personas a la ciudad de Cancún y la increíble oportunidad de nadar con delfines.
Durante la ceremonia de bautismo se entregó a la empresa Delphinus el Récord Guinness por lograr el mayor número de crías exitosas durante un año (11) en un mismo delfinario, Delphinus Xcaret.

I went to Dolphin Discovery on April 7th. This is my second time swimming with dolphins. Last year I swam with the dolphins at Xel-Ha. This year I decided to try something different.

I purchased the SeaLife Discovery Plus swim for $199. This is the swim where you swim with dolphins, sealions, manatees and stingrays. We started off watching a short video and proceeded to enter the water with the manatees and the stingrays. We swam around with them for awhile. We got to feed them and you could have your choice of kissing the manatee for a picture which I did!! They are very gentle creatures and it was a great experience. You can stand on the platform if you wish which is waist deep which alot of people did. Then they brought in a sealion that we were able to take a picture with and they swam by us a few times so we could touch it. I would of liked to learn more about and spent more time with the sealions. I felt too much time was spent with the manatees.

Then we took us to the bird cage where we all stood in line to get our picture taken with the bird.

Finally we were taken to watch a short video on the dolphins and then in a group of 7 we got into the water with 2 dolphins. Everyone got their turn for 2 dolphin kisses (one on the cheek and one on the mouth if you want), a dolphin hug, the dorsal tow, and the foot push which is incredible. They took pictures of all these activities except for the foot push. If you want to see the footpush you have to buy the dvd for $50.00. Free time consisted of us all standing shoulder to shoulder in the water while we sang "TwinkleTwinkle Little Star" and the dolphins swam around us and made noises. Then we splashed the water with our hands and they splashed the water with their fins and it was over. I was expecting alot more free time with the dolphins. We were probably in the water with the dolphins for 25-30 minutes. Then they whisked us off to a tv room where we watched the dvd. Then we went to look at our pictures. I am not sure what the proper cost is but I bought 7 pictures for $77 so that's $11 each. But I think it's because I purchased all my pictures. If you only buy 1 or 2 pictures I think they run from about $13-15 dollars.

Overall it was a great experience and I had alot of fun but I was disappointed overall with the dolphin swim. I would go back to Xel-Ha if I wanted to swim with dolphins again. We had alot more free time with them at Xel-Ha. I felt we learned alot more about dolphins and had alot more time with them. And we were able to bring our own camera with us and take pictures. We weren't able to use our own camera at Dolphin Discovery. It was an experience you won't forget but the dolphin swim felt rushed and I didn't get that bonding experience with the dolphins as I have in the past.
