The 4 Best Aquarium Visits in Mexico

1.Interactive Aquarium – Swim with Dolphins Splash

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 49 reviews · 35 min · from $127Our pick

At Interactive Aquarium Cancún in Plaza La Isla, you’ll join a small group of up to 10 for a 35-minute dolphin program. Expect a presentation, dolphin facts, a kiss, and about 20 minutes in the water. Bring swimwear and ID, and leave cameras and jewelry behind.

“We loved this experience, it was something we’ve always wanted to do and it didn’t disappoint. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming and the dolphins were all very calm and you get to see their behaviours beforehand which the guide reassures you of, but with a 5 year old it was definitely something in the back of our heads we were wondering. Worth every penny.”
