Dolphin Royal Connection Experience ticket at Puerto Aventuras

4.7/5
7 reviews

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.

    It was absolutely fantastic however it would’ve been a little better if we knew about the seperate cost of the transfer and also our ticket didn’t give us any details of the catamaran trip so we assumed we weren’t on it, glad we were though

    The experience with the Dolphins was good, everything was well explained by the trainers. After my experience with them we spent time with the manatees also good. It did break down then as I was supposed to have a lobster meal which never took place. There was no overall guide so I felt left to fend for myself. Fortunately I used my own initiative and was able to eat courtesy of the staff at the centre. Before being picked up by the mini bus driver.

    Our guide, Brenda, was fantastic and gave us lots of information about the dolphins. The experience with the dolphins exceeded our expectations. The photographs are fantastic but way to expensive.
