It's not just dolphins that call Mexico's Dolphin Discovery Park home – there are manatees, too. This exclusive experience lets you meet these friendly marine mammals under the supervision of an expert. Swim alongside these gentle giants and learn all about their behaviours. It's a memory that'll last long after your tan has faded.

The picks up times changed 3 times and I ended up missing the bus, but managed to get on a later trip and was charged extra Not good and very disappointing experience

It was a very good experience you get to feed them in the water and touch them the staff was good as to explain all about them .

The experience was great. We arrived a short while before our experience and the pick up was 1.5 hours later so no waiting around. We were offered a delayed pick up if we wanting to have a walk around which we now wish we had taken up and the marina itself had a load of cafes and areas to explore.

We went for the manatee experience. The staff who looked after the animals were very knowledgeable friendly. We had plenty of time in the water feeding and interacting with the manatees. Would recommend.

By the time we had finished with the manatees there wasnt enough time to have lunch before the bus picked us up. We did love the manatees but wasnt expecting not to be able to take our phones or the hard sell on photos which were more expensive than the actual trip!
