The ultimate dolphin activity in Playa del Carmen! Not only will you get to do the Dolphin Royal Connection in it's entirety, but you'll but you'll get the incredible experience of interacting in the water with the very rare manatee! Not only that but you get to play in the water with funny sea lions! There is no other activity in the Riviera Maya like this one, and maybe nowhere else in the world. Don't miss your chance to experience these amazing creatures!

Your tour begins as you go behind the scenes with the trainers, learning about the animals, their habits and biology. You'll work hand-in-hand with the trainers to prepare the food that you'll feed to the manatees later. After this eye-opening experience, you'll get into the water, where you'll feel, hold, and interact with sea lions and manatees, followed by the excitement of the Dolphin Royal Connection. What a tour!

Cruise Passengers: Yes! This makes a great cruise shore excursion. The dolphin center is only 10 minutes from the Calica cruise pier, and 15 minutes from the Playa del Carmen Ferry Pier!

All was great, except a miscommunication with the pick up to the airport. I booked it for 4 ppl, for first arrival, then for drop off, I booked for 6 ppl. They told me it was the same price since it was under 6ppl. However, when the driver arrived, he had no knowledge that it was 6 instead of 4. Almost didn't believe me, until I found my confirmation email. Perhaps he too, should know policy/passengers allowed per car, or any other info, so there is no miscommunications. Dolphin interaction was amazing, but I suggest you let customers know, there is no "free time" to swim with the dolphins, only interaction is in a group and trainer setting. Had great time, will recommend or reach out again! Thanks!
