When it comes to dolphin experiences, the Royal Connection at Purerto Aventuras wears the crown. Spend an hour with these majestic creatures and engage all five senses as you learn all about their behaviours from an expert. The highlight of the experience is sharing the deeper water with the dolphins as they swim by – it's where you'll feel the greatest connection to them. To top off the experience, you'll also have an encounter with the gentle sea cows of the ocean, manatees. After all that time in the water, round off your trip with a buffet lunch.
