Cozumel's only certified Dolphin Park is an extensive marine facility located in picturesque Chankanaab National Park. A brief motorcoach ride brings you to the dolphin habitat, where you'll enjoy an informative presentation by a dolphin trainer. Then, put on a life vest and enter the warm waters to meet your 'flippered' friend. Share a hello smile, then venture further out in the Caribbean Sea for an exciting Belly Ride, where you are pulled across the surface of the water by a dolphin's two pectoral fins, then hop on a thrilling Boogie Board push powered by this awesome creature. Enjoy a little free time to frolic with your friend, then move on to your next encounter with a manatee, the gentle giant of the sea spanning 13 feet and weighing up to 1,300 pounds! The day concludes with a madcap sea lion show. Enjoy a delicious Mexican and international buffet with unlimited domestic drinks and discover the Archeological Sites, Tequila Village or relax at the sandy beach. Before departing, you may purchase snacks or shop for souvenirs. Relax on the short ride back to port.
