Overall good experience, there are as always in Mexico some hidden costs like locker fees, if you want pictures, more activities or less. After the trip with the Dolphins we went snorkeling and swimming with the nurse shark. It was amazing and really really cheap. There was a guide whose name was Jose who went with us, he was a really good guide and made our day better. Good trip, when visiting mexico you should definitely go there. ISLA MUJERES IS beautiful btw.

We had a great time meeting the dolphin (Madonna) and the trainer (Cynthia). The activities in the water were amazing and we highly recommend this trip. The buffet lunch was nice and had a large variety and catered for all tastes. The waiters were very accommodating and contentiously ensured we had a enough drinks. The photos and videos were worth the money and will make great memories. All staff were incredible :)

They could have explained it a lot better and had guides to tell you what to do and where to go once you get to the island we missed our time to get in with the dolphins and we had to wait the next available time slot which caused us to not be able to take a ferry to the main part of the island
