My first Dolphin encounter - and it was wonderful. Great animals. The park was lovely. Just didn't enjoy the "tubing the river" - wind was blowing backwards, took more strength than I had to move forward. Two hours later, I was exhausted. Loved everything else. I'd do the Dolphin swim again in a minute.
Wonderfully located on the Carribean, about 45 minutes south of Playa. No need to drive. Take a tour bus for $9.00 USD round trip!!!
Get there early to enjoy the entire day. Great options for food and drink. The lazy river is a wonderful experience, hike, snorkel our just relax in this tranquil environment.
You won't be alone, this ...

MOST COLORFUL FISH EVER
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 05/15/07
IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL THE BRIGHT COLORS OF THE FISH WITH FRESH AND SALT WATER WAS AWESOME. WALKING ON THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN WAS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE. THE FOOD WAS GREAT EXCEPT FOR THE BONES IN THE RABBIT STEW. WELL WORTH THE COST TO PARTICIPATE AND TO DO IT MORE THAN ONCE. GREAT TIME !!!!

Xel-Ha was awesome. Especially for first time snorklers. The dolphin swim was a bit expensive, but 59$US was completely worth the "all inclusiveness." Swimming all day, lazy river, snorkling, hiking, exotic fish, food, drinks, ice cream, biking, hammock island and everything. Definatley worth the trip again.!
Xel-Ha is a beatiful place with tons of stuff to do. We could have easily spent 2 days there. Make sure you get the all inclusive, it's well worth the money. Food, drinks (including alcohol) and ice cream is all included. We spent most of our time snorkeling. I wish we would have spent more time doing the adventure stuff across the floating ...
