We went to the dolphin park on our recent visit to Cancun. I will tell you up front, there are separate charges for park entry and the dolphin swims. You can just go to the park and have a nice time, but that isn´t where the real excitement is.
The park is in geat condition, including the botanical gardens. After signing up for the dolphin swim ...

Big let down
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 07/04/08
I was really looking forward to visiting this park. For sixteen dollars a person, you can get the same thing for free at any of the beachs up and down the road. Don't waste your money unless you go just to pet a dolphin.
Great packages to swim with the dolphins and take part with a dolphin one on one. Very capable staff and I enjoyed the entire experience. Do it, you will not regret it! Also great area for snorkeling, with comfy chairs and tapas to keep you covered. Very clean and not crowded. Also at the entrance you can take a picture ($5.00 USD) with Rambo a really huge Iguana. So cool!
Very inexpensive and wonderful for the whole family. A short cab ride from the cruise terminals and an inexpensive admittance fee will get you in the doors of a beautiful paradise. Don't book through the cruise excursion desk for snorkling, dolphin encounters or beach lounging. Just do it on your own. It's a local beach, hardley crowded and ...
My hubby and I were on a cruise for our honeymoon (2004) and we swan with the dolphins here. They are SO cool. It was a once in a life time experiance. I would recommend it to everyone to do at least once in your life.

Chankanaab Park
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/25/07
My kids and I were in Cozumel on a cruise Nov 2007. I booked the royal dolphin swim directly through the park. Even with the cost of the cab and renting snorkeling equipment the cost was still substanially lower than I would have paid through the cruise line with more interaction with the dolphins. My kids and I had the time of our lives with ...
We went the day after Labor Day and were about the only ones there!! Much less crowded than the commercial beaches (Maybe 20 people there). There is no real beach, but great thatch covered cabanas situated in the midst of alot of beautiful white sand for relaxing, and a good restaurant where we were served right on the water. We had all day for 2 ...
Loved swimming with the dolphins. The trainers were very knowledgable. The time in the tank with the dolphins was substanial. Would do it again. It was the hightlight of my vacation.

I can't wait to go back this December!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 09/25/07
The last time I was in Cozumel I came to Chankanaab and swam with the dolphins and I had the time of my life. I have not stopped talking about it since and that was 4 years ago. I am going on a cruise this December, and it doesn't offer the option of going to Chankanaab, so I will be taking a cab and going on my own, just because if I'm ...

Amazing time
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/18/07
The scuba diving is renowned and if you can get access to one of the many underwater caves, then you're in for a real treat. The snorkeling is just as good and for those that want to try a combination of both, there's SNUBA - just like snorkeling but you're air is fed from the surface down through a long air hose...very ...
