Riviera Maya Dolphin Encounters
Our exciting interactive Dolphin Encounters allow you to engage with bottlenose dolphins at our expansive marine mammal facilities off the Caribbean Sea. You will appreciate the security of our shallow water platform attached to the saltwater lagoon in our dolphin habitat on the shores of the Caribbean Sea. Whether you're not a strong swimmer or prefer your interaction while standing in knee-deep water, you'll be enchanted by these charming, friendly and intelligent creatures on your dolphin encounter. You can hug, pet, and even kiss a dolphin on one of these activities. Our professional animal trainers will be right next to you as you interact with the dolphins, making sure you enjoy a safe and fun encounter.
Upon your arrival at one of our cutting-edge dolphin facilities on the Caribbean coastline, you'll first learn everything there is to know about these fascinating cetaceans. Our bilingual experts will tell you the most intriguing aspects of dolphin behavior, anatomy, diet, and habitat. You'll not only be amazed by how smart these creatures are, but also by how they communicate with each other over great expanses beneath the water's surface. Dolphins also use vocalizations to echolocate for navigation and hunting. You'll even learn how to communicate with these brilliant animals by using the hand signaling used by our resident animal experts. You can actually use your newly learned hand gestures to direct the dolphins to perform tricks in the pool. We limit the number of participants on all of out encounters in order to ensure that everyone spends some quality time with a dolphin
