Frequently asked questions
What is included?
The Harmony dolphin swim program, with a trainer, life jacket, showers and changing rooms. It does not include transportation, the ISEEPA tax, photos or tips.
What time is it and how long does it last?
The swim time is assigned when you book, depending on the habitat's availability. It is 20 minutes in the water and the visit lasts about an hour and 15 minutes. It runs every day.
Is transportation included?
It is not included. We quote a private transfer from Cancún, Playa del Carmen or the Riviera Maya at the time of sale. You can also get there on your own.
Can babies and children come? From what age do you pay as an adult?
There is no minimum age to get in the water and interact with the dolphin. Children under 8 go in accompanied by an adult, and both buy the program. Important: interacting is not the same as swimming. Infants go in to interact with the dolphin on the platform, but they do not leave it to do the swims or the dolphin rides. Children who already know how to float and swim can leave the platform to do the swims and rides: there is no minimum height here, it depends on their ability in the water. Children who are not taking part can come in with a responsible adult and watch from the companion area. Ages 5 to 11 book as a child and ages 12 and up as an adult.
How much is the deposit and how do I cancel?
You book with the deposit Cancun100 indicates when confirming. Cancellations are governed by the Cancun100 general policy.
What is the difference between Harmony, Interax and Primax?
The time in the water (20, 30 and 45 minutes), the group size (ten, six and four people) and the number of activities (10, 14 and 18). Primax is the most complete, with snorkeling alongside the dolphin and a competition game with a prize.
Can you touch the dolphins, and do I need to know how to swim?
Yes: a hug, a kiss and guided contact are part of the program. You do not need to know how to swim: everyone wears a life jacket and much of the program takes place in waist- or chest-deep water.
What do I pay on arrival and how much are the photos?
The ISEEPA state tax, 50 pesos per person who gets in the water with the dolphins, at the ticket office. Cameras are not allowed in the water; the habitat has photographers, and photos and videos are sold separately at the habitat's prices.
