Dolphin Discovery Puerto Aventuras

There are a lot of places to Swim with the Dolphins these days. However, we suggest going to Dolphin Discovery for one big reason they were the 1st company to offer swim with the dolphins back in 1994 that is what they do, it's all they do; because of that they have constantly been voted one of the best dolphinariums in the world.

Dolphin Discovery Puerto Aventuras Mayan Rivera, Mexico

Dolphin Discovery regional Mexican operation's respect for marine mammals and their natural habitat has been recognized as a Socially Responsible Company for the 4th consecutive year. They have a large staff of Marine Biologist, trainers and veterinarians and are members of the International Marine Animal Trainers Association.

Dolphin Discovery Puerto Aventuras is the Closest location to Playa Del Secreto

They are also a company that gives back to the community (abet rare here about) they sponsor programs where the Dolphin Biologist go to locals schools to give educational talks, they have programs for disadvantaged children and children with disabilities, they sponsor a therapy program for children with Autism.

The Dolphin Discovery Puerto Aventura's facility is the closest to our vacation Villas. It's also a really nice facility there are shops and restaurants sounding the large dolphin habitat, so if you are just going along to watch your friends there's a lot of places to sit have a beer or margarita and watch.
