A great day out! We initially just booked the catamaran & dolphin experience but glad we changed to this one! The catamaran is big & you can sit in the sun whilst on it. Snorkelling equipment is included in the price (only a short swim in the ocean, not a huge amount to see but still an experience). Drinks were also included on the boat - Both alcoholic and nonalcoholic. We then went to Isla Mujeres where you get 2 hours to explore. You can rent a buggy or get a taxi tour to drive round the island & take photos at tourist spots (both options are around $50) we jumped in with another couple so it only cost us $25 to do. They then take you straight to Dolphin Discovery … such an AMAZING experience!! The buffet food here was delicious, couldn’t fault it. Having done the Royal Swim and Swim Adventure in the past, I’d happily recommend the middle package (Adventure) over the Royal Swim, but definitely pay for the photos! We finally headed back to Cancun whilst watching the sunset.

Just a great experience. It's a short boat ride of about 45mins and food and drinks are supplied the whole way over. To swim with the dolphins is just an experience you have to do amazing animals and so intelligent. You do 2 activities in the water with the dolphins and a few more on the side where you can get really close and do some tricks kiss them etc. No cameras are allowed but you can purchase what they take and also the videos of the 2 in water activities, they take so many pictures so you will have some good ones to choose from or you can buy all of them (130 USD) but like I say there are lots of pictures taken and good quality. After the dolphin experience you can relax in the vip lounge have some drinks and buffet food. You can experience swimming with nurse sharks which I'd recommend also but you can't touch these I went with z rozz who was very good, takes your camera down to get your pictures. overall this is a must do

Great day, food and drinks included, quality time with the dolphins, morning free time at Isla Mujeres and afternoon at the club pool.

Super cool experience! You really have the time to be with the dolphins, touch them and play with them. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience for the whole family - amazing dolphins and extremely competent crew.
