What exactly do you do during the dolphin interaction?

You'll have one-on-one time with two dolphins in deep water. Activities include touching and hugging them, receiving a dolphin kiss, fin shake, hand target, swim-by, heart-to-heart (feeling the dolphin's heartbeat), and ocean echo (listening to their sonar clicks). The programme is designed to be interactive while respecting the animals' natural behaviour.

Is Chankanaab Park admission really included?

Yes, park admission is included with your dolphin programme. After your dolphin interactions, you have access to the natural theme park where you can snorkel, relax on the beach, and explore tropical fauna and flora.

What's the water temperature and do I need a wetsuit?

Cozumel's Caribbean waters stay warm year-round (26–29°C). A wetsuit is provided and recommended for comfort and sun protection during prolonged water time, though it's optional in warmer months.

Can young children participate?

Yes, children can participate, though minimum age requirements typically apply (around 3–5 years). Children under 8 usually need an adult in the water with them. Confirm specific requirements when booking.

How much of the 4.5 hours is actual dolphin time vs. park time?

Dolphin interaction typically lasts 30–45 minutes, with the remainder split between briefing, wetsuit prep, and 2–3 hours at Chankanaab Park for snorkelling and beach time. Exact breakdown is confirmed at booking.

What should I bring, and can I leave valuables during the activity?

Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and a dry bag for essentials. Lockers are available but space is limited; travel light and avoid bringing valuables if possible. Your hotel safe is a safer option.
