Swimming with Manatees in Cozumel! Anyone?

[crusinmama06]

Has anyone done this???? :eek: I just noticed on a roll call someone talking about trying this. So I had to come here and check with my favorite peeps. :D

 

Its at Chankanaab Park and Dolphin Discovery.

 

This seems like fun. My hubby loves manatees!

Well, we did the Swim With Dolphins program there in April and about ten minutes was spent in the pool with the manatees, feeding them, touching them, learning about them. However, there was no swimming with them, like there was with the dolphins.

Ummmm...I would pass on this. Have you ever seen a manatee? They're HUGE. Not at all something that would seem like it would be fun to interact with.

 

Let us know how it goes, if you do this.

Manatees are the most gentle of aquatic animals. They are absolutely lovely creatures

CeleBrat! HAHAHAHAHA! You made me laugh. Yes, I considered that. They are huge. 1300lbs to be exact. :eek:

 

Well, we are OUT because my little one is not 3'11" tall which is the height requirement for the excursion :(

 

Someone pass the miracle grow ;)

You can easily get a cab out there and do it by yourself. That's what we did!

Oh, I love manatees!!!!!!! Can't wait to check this out my next time in Coz!

thats what we are doing in Aug, we are swimming with the dolphins then the manatees and we through in the sealions too. The park is not far from the port and about 10.00 for 4 for a cab ride.

 

I did a lot of research on this and booked it my self

[crusinmama06]

The height requirement was listed on the Park's web site, not the cruise line's ;) So I was planning on grabbing a taxi and going out there one our own. But our little Shorty Mc Short Short will have to take a pass on this one -- for at least one year. :)
