Cozumel Dolphin Encounter |
|
In the Cozumel Dolphin Encounter, the focus is on allowing everyone to enjoy having a high degree of contact with the dolphins while at the same time the trainers will teach you about these amazing animals. Nothing compares to being up close and personal with a dolphin in order to make an impact as to how important it is to conserve our marine life and oceans.
Your Dolphin Encounter adventure takes place in Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park (open at 9:00am) and will start with a short educational orientation with a Dolphin Trainer where you will learn a little about the dolphin anatomy and some of its special features and then get into the WATER with the dolphins!
You will enter the water by going down a set of stairs from the elevated dock onto a submerged platform where you will remain for 25 - 30 minutes in waist-deep water. The Dolphin Encounter starts with a kiss from an Atlantic-Bottle nosed dolphin that will be captured forever by a professional photographer and can be purchased afterward. The program will continue with a Swim-by, where you will get the chance to touch and pet the dolphins, a chance to learn about the anatomy of the dolphin and then on to some very special selected dolphin behaviors. The program is completed by giving each guest a chance to have some good quality time with the dolphin where you can ask the trainer any questions you may have about the dolphin and their life in the sea.
Dolphins are very special marine animals who touch the hearts of those who interact with them both in captivity and in the wild. Of course it is always better to let marine life live free in their own world, but participating in and learning about the dolphins in these activities serves to promote marine and ocean conservation.
Dolphin Discovery Cozumel is located in Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park. As well as offering world class diving and snorkeling from a pristine beach, this beautiful park houses a variety of birds, the sea lion show, a botanical garden, reproductions of famous archeological sites, a typical Mayan village, an underground river, a tropical lagoon teeming with brightly colored tropical fish, restaurants and bars as well as a dive shop and Sea Trek helmet diving. So you will definitely want to allow time to enjoy the park either before or after your dolphin activity. |

The Royal Dolphin Swim was the perfect excursion during our cruise on the Carnival Fantasy. We booked through Cozumel Insider because the ship didn't offer the Royal Dolphin Swim and also because prices were cheaper than booking on board. The inexpensive taxi ride was better than taking a bus and being on someone else's schedule for the day. Chankanaub is a beautiful park and a great way to spend time in Cozumel! Thanks for providing such a great service! We'll be back soon! The Bell family ~ Louisiana, USA

My family loved the Dolphin Swim! A once in a lifetime experience. My youngest wasn't supposed to be tall enough to do the swim but they let her do it anyway, with the help of one of their staff. I appreciated that and the kids were all smiles the whole time. The photos they took were great and we bought them - just be sure to bargain down the price! :) S.

First of all, I want to say thank you so much for sharing your wonderful island with my family. Secondly, we did the Royal Dolphin Swim with Dorie and Belle, and it was the most AWESOME time of our lives. One lady in our session cried at the end, saying this was the greatest thing that she has ever done. The Park was beautiful, and everyone was very helpful. Thank you again for a wonderful time. D. Smith ~ USA

Martin - I just wanted to thank you so much for all your assistance in booking our dolphin experience. Despite the torrential rain (liquid sunshine) on 19th October the girls had a fabulous time at their swim. We loved Cozumel and hope to return one day to see it in better conditions. When I finish our unpacking and get over the jet lag I will do a Trip Advisor review for you! C. McDade (October 2015) ~ Glasglow, Scotland UK
