Cancun exclusive bronze dolphin interactive programme

3.7/5
14 reviews

Cancun is an ideal place to get up close with nature – and what better way to do so than with an immersive and fun dolphin encounter? You'll get into the water with one of these wonderful creatures and learn to communicate with them while getting to know their habits and behaviours.

Head to Isla Mujeres via boat, and you'll have an interactive experience with one of the world's friendliest mammals – dolphins. Learn all about these loveable creatures as experts tell you about their unique characteristics. You'll even get to interact with them through cool tricks like the dolphin kiss, fin shake and hand target.

To top it off, your experience includes a buffet lunch and unlimited local drinks, so all the family will be catered for. You'll have access to the beach club terrace to relax in, too.

    The trip was well organised. Picked up from the hotel and taken to the ferry. Then, we were taken to Isla Mujers. The aquarium staff well trained and very informative. The bands you were given were also well organised through to lockers and the buffet after. I'd highly recommend ??

    What a fantastic experience, spent a lot more time in the water than expected as went in with other families whilst experiencing your own time with the dolphin. The trainer was great and if we didn’t do the ‘trick’ right the first time was given another opportunity. Staff on the boat were great and provided drinks and the staff at the dolphin centre were great. Not able to take photos so bought the photo package but worth it for such a wonderful experience.

    The experience itself is magical. The staff etc are amazing and it was a lovely place.Unlimited bar is on offer, but only soft drinks, no alcohol. Also no towels were provided. We were given 2 times to return and we chose the earlier option, only to be told once we were on the boat the transport to the hotel would only be available at 6pm this was 3.30pm so had to pay for a taxi back to the hotel. I have emailed Tui about this but have had no response in 2 weeks

    The trip itself was brilliant , however the price of the photos that are taken and tried to sell to you are very overpriced . 100 dollars for 1 family photo .

    The tui app stated that towels would be provided, we got to dolphin discovery and found this was not the case. Not ideal not having a towel between a family of 3! Also it said on both tui app and downloadable voucher the trip duration was 2-4 hours…. We got picked up at 7am and didnt return to hotel until 6.30pm!! Please put correct information under this excursion its not fair when you are trying to plan your day and what you need to take etc!

    Interacting with the dolphins was great and worth the time and money we paid for it. What wasn’t great was my husband getting food poisoning from the food there and being on a half day trip and being told the transfer wasn’t collecting us until 6pm after finishing the experience at 12:30 so we had to get a taxi back to the hotel at a cost of $50. Also the cost of photos is extortionate. $100 for one photo or nearly $300 for 20 photos. Don’t buy off the vendors before you arrive on the island.
