Swim With The Dolphins-The Swim AdventureExplore > Mexico > Cozumel > Swim With The Dolphins-The Swim AdventureOverviewGet a great big kiss...and a fun ride. Only 10 minutes from downtown Cozumel at famous Chankanaab National Marine Park, this is the perfect backdrop for your dolphin experience. The park offers incredible snorkeling, diving, restaurants, and a beautiful beach. This exciting program really lets you interact with these friendly marine mammals. The adventure begins with a briefing about the dolphins and an explanation of the activities you will experience. From a submerged platform in the water, you'll be able to interact with the dolphins, including the very popular dolphin kiss photo. Then, you'll enter the water (life jackets required), and get up close and personal as you hang on and do a belly-ride with your new friend. Next, you'll put on a mask to experience the grace and intelligence of these marvelous animals. Your trainer will have the dolphins display some of their amazing behaviors for you. They will swim in and out of the group, allowing you to swim with them. This is not to be missed! Each session is one hour, with 30 minutes of swim time.
