About this activity
Swim and interact directly with dolphins and manatees at this exclusive marine facility nestled within Dreams Puerto Aventuras resort. This 2-hour experience combines hands-on encounters—including kayaking alongside dolphins, dorsal tows, and foot pushes—with educational insights into these gentle marine mammals in a tropical jungle setting.
Dolphin Discovery se encuentra localizado en el hotel Dreams Hotel & Spa en el corazón de Puerto Aventuras, una pintoresca villa con marina propia y exclusivo centro turístico. Rodeado de playas y la exótica vegetación de la jungla, es un lugar tranquilo, ideal para descansar y relajarse. Exclusivo en todo Quintana Roo, no sólo por sus increíbles instalaciones sino por las actividades interactivas con delfines que puedes realizar, como andar en ¡kayaks! una experiencia totalmente nueva ya que los delfines juegan y nadan alrededor de ti. Este programa también incluye interacción con manatíes, los mamíferos marinos más tiernos y dóciles a pesar de su gran tamaño.
Entre todas las actividades, podrás darle besos al delfín o sentir su piel al acariciarlos. Te llevarán a dar un paseo a toda velocidad a través del agua durante el Dorsal Tow y después, los delfines te impulsarán de la planta de tus pies para empujarte sobre la superficie del agua en el famoso Foot Push. Aprenderás todo sobre los mamíferos marinos durante tu interacción.
