Yes; at Delphinus we want you to have a great time and feel as comfortable as possible. There are onsite bathroom facilities, showers, changing areas, towels and secure lockers for personal items.

Yes. We do our best to make this experience available for everyone. When making your reservation, it is important that you mention any special requirements. Our reservations agent will confirm whether we can offer the best option for your comfort and safety. We ask that participants with special requirements be accompanied by an adult during the dolphin interaction program.

Dolphins receive a specific balanced diet according to their age, activities and development. During the activity, trainers may occasionally explain to you how to, but they are the only ones that can feed them. Feeding the dolphins in any other way is not permitted as eating food that is not included in their established diet can affect their health.

Yes. Delphinus has a professional photography and video team as well as the best equipment. After your swim with the dolphins, you'll be able to purchase the videos and photographs taken of you.

No. For safety reasons and to avoid distracting the dolphins, participants are asked not to bring video or photography cameras to the wet areas around the dolphinariums. Your companions will be able to take photos in the designated areas. For safety, designated areas are away from wet areas.

You will only be able to use the Delphinus areas in the hotel or park. The use of the hotel's facilities and amenities (pool, bar, common areas, among others) or parks is not permitted. If you purchase a Dolphinclusive or Dolphin Tour package, it does include the entrance fee and the use of the facilities of the corresponding parks. 

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.

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.

Yes, depending on the pregnancy's stage they can perform different activities. However, if the pregnancy is very advanced, the Foot Push activity will not be possible.

All kids are welcome at Delphinus! If your child is not participating in the program, we ask that a responsible adult accompany them at all times. Non-participating family members are free to watch and enjoy the dolphins from the companion areas designated for this purpose.

Yes. Everyone who participates in our programs must wear a life vest. We provide participants with a life vest adapted to their weight and size.

We recommend that you book in advance, especially if you plan to visit us during high season, because our interaction programs have a limited number of participants.

We provide each visitor with a life vest to be used during the program activities, so don't worry if you don't know how to swim. Our staff is trained to make sure you feel safe, comfortable and ready to enjoy your dolphin experience.

Not at the moment. Delphinus recently collaborated in a scientific research project with ASS DISCAN, a non-profit organization interested in evaluating ameliorative processes for children with Down Syndrome and Autism in dolphin assisted therapies. Their conclusions suggest that children improve some of their physical, emotional and behavioral skills as they interact with our dolphins. Now, we collaborate with Mexican foundations and our Animal Care Specialists are being trained and certified to develop a Dolphin Assisted Therapy Program in our facilities for children from the state of Quintana Roo.

Yes. If you make your booking online with days in advance, you get a special discount. Also, if you sign up to our newsletter, you will receive special prices, discounts and promotions before anyone else!

For security reasons, accompanying members will not have access to the deck or wet areas but they will be able to watch all the activities from the designated companion area.

The program is divided in two parts: on-deck briefing and explanation for touching the dolphins (out of the water) and interaction with the dolphins (in the water).

The duration depends on the option you pick. First you will get some out-of-water basic training to get you ready for swimming with the dolphins. All activities have a towel, lockers and a life jacket included.

Depending on the package, you will be doing various activities such as kissing and interacting with your new sea friends. You will also learn about their anatomy, nature, intelligence, diet and personality. We promise it will be an awesome experience.

Prices will vary depending on the number of participants, duration and type of activities. You can have a look at our options so you can choose the most suitable package for you and your family.
