What happens if I am late or can't make it?

Because we know that you’re on vacation and we want you to enjoy it to the fullest, we try to be as flexible as we can when it comes to rescheduling as many times as you want; we’ll just ask you to do so at least 24 hours in advance for better availability. You can request a refund with an 8% operating cost recovery fee. A no-show will automatically charge for full price. For more information, please send an email to info@delphinus.com.mx or chat with us on our website or whatsapp.

Can my travel partners watch?

You are only allowed to bring one guest. If you will be swimming with dolphins, your guest will not be able to go to the wet areas such as the dolphin dock. Our locations can be very large, but we have several waiting and observation areas available for guests.

Can people with special needs join a swim-with-dolphins program?

This is absolutely doable; our team has been trained to make sure everyone can get the most out of this experience. Please indicate the nature of the disability so that we can properly consider it and we can best accommodate. Some of the dolphins are particularly sensitive and affectionate to visitors with special needs, so they can be quite adaptable to them. One thing we are sure of is that this will be an exciting time for special-needs individuals.
