Tour Summary
Feel like royalty and experience the joy of swimming with dolphins while in a tropical paradise with our Dolphin Royal Swim. This hour-long experience will allow you to make a lifetime of memories by getting face to face with these remarkable creatures while swimming in our dolphin habitat on the Mayan Riviera.
The location is conveniently situated just 20 minutes south of Playa Del Carmen or 20 minutes north of Tulum in Akumal Bay. This biodiversity reservation will take your breath away, offering a stunning view of the Caribbean Sea. Each of the dolphins in this facility was born under human care, so they are excited to meet you and your family!
But the facility is just the beginning. The dolphins are the real stars of the show and you are going to get the chance to meet them up close! On this tour, you will be actually getting into the water to swim with the dolphins. While swimming with the dolphins, you will be able to touch, handshake, hug and even kiss these majestic animals and the fun doesn't stop there.
On this Dolphin Royal Swim, you will get the once in a lifetime opportunity of performing a foot push. During the foot push, you will have a dolphin under each of your feet and they will propel you through the water for the ultimate thrill experience. You will also have the opportunity to hold onto the dorsal fins of two dolphins and allow them to pull you through the water, truly letting you feel the joy of swimming just like a dolphin.
This tour is an amazing opportunity to take in the natural beauty of the Mayan Riviera while getting to know these famously friendly creatures and create special memories that you can treasure for years to come.
