Two unique experiences in one day!
$129.00
The Dolphin Encounter + Garrafon Natural Reef Park program allows you to enjoy two incredible experiences in two different locations. At Dolphin Discovery – Isla Mujeres, you’ll be able to pet and play with our friendly dolphins in their beautiful turquoise-water natural habitat. The Dolphin Encounter program welcomes participants of all ages, making it the perfect plan for a family or friends’ vacation. It also promotes awareness about environmental conservation.
But that’s only the first experience… the adventure continues! At Garrafon Natural Reef Park, you’ll experience nature from a whole new perspective. If you’re feeling curious, enjoy snorkeling over one of Cancun’s most beautiful coral reefs and discover the marine life that surrounds it. If you’re feeling more energetic, you can go kayaking on the breathtaking turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.
