    Cancellation policy

    These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

    Be in close quarters with one of the most cheerful creatures from the oceanic universe - dolphins! Located just 20 minutes from the Tulum Archeological Site, in Akumal, which showcases the widest biodiversity and the best-preserved ecosystem in the world, this program offers a great opportunity to develop a close bond with dolphins! The Swim Adventures Memory Program offered by Dolphin Discovery takes a dive into interactive approaches. During this experience, you will not only view these playful creatures but touch, pet, hug, kiss, and swim with them! The true appeal lies in the fun activities you experience along the way, such as grabbing onto the dolphin's dorsal fins and diving into the water on its belly, or balancing on a boogie board and riding the wave just as the dolphin propels.
