Yes, yes, Zachary B! I loved the experience - my first up close and personal with dolphins - but the charges for the photos at the end are a complete rip off. I loathe photos of myself but there were a couple worth having and I selected some, only to be told the charge was $40 USD per photo. If... More

I have to say that swimming with the Dolphins was an absolutely amazing. They are amazing creatures and though I was very nervous, as soon as I got in the water with them I felt really comfortable. The Dolphin trainers were all very friendly and genuinely cared about the Dolphins. This is where it all goes downhill however... My wife... More

I loved my entire swim with the dolphins! I was a little nervous at first but dolphins are amazing creatures and it was an awesome add-on to my Xel-Ha visit!

There are a number of places to purchase swimming with Dolphins and they ALL HAVE DIFFERENT PRICES. The hotels (top end prices) sell for around $135 per person for swimming with the Dolphins, pull of a Dolphin and a kiss... All last an hour. If you shop around you can get them down to at least $64 per person. You... More

If you're looking to experience something one-of-a-kind...you came to the right review! My husband and I wanted to experience swimming with the dolphins while vacationing in Cancun. Finally I booked our reservation and confirmed the package, Primax 4. We wanted to spend quality time with the dolphins without a crowded group, this only has 4 participants in the activity -...

We chose the Primax 4 because there were 4 of us and thats how many were allowed. Thought it would be better than being in a larger group. It was my daughters 17th birthday and she had always wanted to do this. We had a great time and was truly an amazing experience. The only downside was that we were... More

I was so looking forward to this experience and while it was enjoyable in the moment I couldn't get rid of a nagging thought that is was also very sad for the dolphins. The fact that these animals live in such a small enclosure for over a decade (my trainer told me my dolphin had not left that small enclosure... More

We were slightly disappointed with what we received for the money. Not much time, not much interaction and pictures for purchase were very expensive. I would do my homework before you purchase this one. I feel like there may be something better out there.
