About Dolphin Royal Connection: delfines, manatíes y Chankanaab

Enjoy one of the most complete experiences in Cozumel: swimming with dolphins at Dolphin Discovery, inside Parque Nacional Chankanaab. This program lets you interact up close with these amazing animals in a natural setting, guided by experts who ensure your safety at all times. During the activity you can touch, hug, and kiss a dolphin, plus enjoy special interactions like the Fin Shake, Hand Target, Heart to Heart to feel its heartbeat, and Ocean Echo to hear its sonar — all in deep water for an unforgettable experience. Your program includes access to the VIP area with international open bar, premium drinks, and buffet, so you can relax comfortably after your dolphin encounter.
