Dolphins in Cancun

By: Enid Glasgow

A little girl smiles for a picture as the dolphin she wraps her arms around nuzzles against her face. It’s an experience that not many can claim. For most, human-animal interaction is a television show or a trip to the zoo. In either case, a glass pane is what sterilizes the experience; the animals are despondent or sleeping; in the most extreme cases, they are poaching or being poached. What you are inevitably left with is dissatisfaction.

When you decide to leave the zoo and turn then television off, an authentic experience of tangible reality exists; the chance to swim with a dolphin. It is one of those things that is always talked about but never acted upon, however most of the world’s most advanced dolphin sanctuaries are located in cities with large populations or a considerable flow of tourism. What this means for your next vacation is another way to make it that much more memorable.

A typical interaction will have you teamed with a bottlenose dolphin. Trainers are there to instruct and supervise and the range of contact is limited to a strict set. This may be the extent of an intended experience for some, but for most, such a scenario offers nothing resembling an experience. That is why the only satisfying solution is to visit an in-depth and hands-on location.

Dolphin Discovery claims “Dolphin Interactive Programs” expertise for its Swim With The Dolphins program and inhabits a setting of tropic weather and clear blue water. Offering three 45 minute programs classed by age restrictions and price, there exist a multitude of interaction levels that best suits you; these range from a show and limited touch to snorkeling and belly rides and dorsal tows.

Dolphin Discovery inhabits many locations in Cancun and is adjacent to the city’s finest resorts, Paradisus Riviera Cancun, Ikal del Mar, and the Ritz Carlton, all offering shuttle services to and from the sanctuary.

Dolphinaris, a dolphin facility in the ocean, is geared more towards a younger crowd. Although it does not offer the variety of activities and interaction as Dolphin Discovery, it does allow the chance for you to spend a day in the life of a trainer. This comes with the responsibility caring for the dolphin. Guests will be given the opportunity to gain a closer look into the world of a marine professional and are invited to accompany them in one final dolphin swim.

Dolphinaris is located in Cancun and Cozumel. Both facilities are state-of-the-art dolphinariums providing an assortment of spectator and hands-on interaction.

Bottlenose dolphins carry a reputation for being a quirky animal, and at times overly personable. They assume childlike qualities—playful and inquisitive. Although they are appear to live a docile and carefree life, their interaction with humans is not only limited to that of vacationers and trainers. They have shown to have positive healing effects with severely handicapped children and aid U.S. Marines in locating sea mines and detecting enemy divers. Human-Dolphin interaction extends into and beyond many realms of our lives. By swimming with a dolphin you gain a unique experience that will last as a memory.
