You get to play desert castaway on this tour. You'll be whisked by catamaran to Isla Mujeres, a pretty island about 30 minutes' boat ride from Cancun. It's home to the Garrafon Natural Reef Park, a tropical enclosure of thick jungle, pools and beaches. Activity-wise, there's everything from zip-lining to kayaking to keep you busy. You'll also get to interact with dolphins with the most complete program on offer. Later, you'll have the option to visit the Punta Sur area of the park – it's a picturesque clifftop spot, with a sculpture garden and a Mayan temple.

Loved the experience itself. Would give it a 9/10. All the staff were very welcoming with the exception of the ‘VIP’ restaurant at Garrafon. The toilets and changing area at Garrafon def need upgrading, then the trip would be 10/10.

We had a wonderful experience everyone was excellent good value for money really good staff on boat was brilliant definitely recommend it had a selfie with Tony who took us they all made us very welcome would do it again

This was an amazing experience! Got to spend a lot of time with our 2 dolphins (each family had their own dolphins to interact with). Our dolphin handler was extremely knowledgeable & very informative. Manatees & shark experience great too. The queue for the zip line was not great. No shade & over an hour wait. Long wait for lifejackets for snorkelling too. Photos were extortionate! Overall BOGOF price was great. Not sure I would have paid full price for 4 of us but it was a great day!

The Dolphin experience is fantastic but the cost of the photos is ridiculous. £210 for 4 people just for a few photos! There is no need for phones to be banned. The park was a good afternoon, just the right amount of time there. Food was ok but it has been much better on other trips. The state of the toilets and locker rooms wasn’t pleasant. The catamaran stuff were brilliant and very attentive. We enjoyed the day but felt that it was far too expensive.

Great value for money 😊 Enjoyed the smaller groups better interaction with the animals. Staff were amazing and always made sure we were safe. On the island there was not a lot of options regarding food

Dolphins good once at waterpark no zip wire no kayaking feel very very letdown as to really wanted to go on zip wire
