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...

Owner description:
Located in the heart of the Cancun Hotel Zone.Our dolphinarium Delphinus Dreams Cancun lies inside the Dreams Cancun Hotel, an exclusive resort built in a special place called Punta Cancun, a privileged double ocean view latitude: on one side the calm blue waters crowned by Isla Mujeres, and secondly, the Mexican Caribbean open sea. This is where the visitors arriving to Cancun can have the best experience of natural interaction with dolphins, an encounter based in respect and admiration for these incredible marine animals. The space where you can perform this unforgettable activity is a small natural lagoon with continuous irrigation of sea water. In this spot we offer four unique swim with dolphins programs: Trainer for a Day, on which you will learn the techniques of training and dolphin care; The One, one person, one dolphin and one trainer, a special program that will captivate all fans of these friendly marine mammals; The Dolphin Ride the fun program to interact with a dolphin and Primax dolphin swim that will make of your visit an unforgettable life experience. Delphinus Dreams Cancun offers you an incomparable adventure where you will be able to swim with dolphins in a natural environment surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of the Mexican Caribbean.

Dear Visitor:
Thank you for your comments. We read your post and it’s a surprise for us that you mention that the price is 40 USD per photo. That's not reality. The cost per printed photo is smaller. We suggest that you please re-check if you uploaded the post in the correct profile, because our prices are not that you...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Over the top great experience for our 17 yr old daughter. Now my husband wants to go back and do it, and we promised our adult daughter, 26, we owe her the experience! It is expensive, but if you can do it.... do it! Ditto on the pictures and video. There is plenty of hands on time with these majestic...
