At Interactive Aquarium Cancún in Plaza La Isla, you’ll join a group of up to 10 for a dolphin presentation and 20 minutes of guided water activities, including a kiss, behavior lessons, and close contact. Bring swimwear and ID, but leave phones, cameras, and jewelry behind.

“We loved being in the pool and interacting with the dolphins but for the money didn’t seem long enough. By the time we checked in, got changed and had a talk about the dolphin, we had a few photos then it finished. 15 minutes with the dolphins for what we paid was a bit expensive for a family on a budget. That was without any photos. We then had to pay $53 per photo or they had packages which worked out cheaper but still very expensive in total.”
