Iamthesea Posted June 19, 2018 #2 Share Posted June 19, 2018 We did not participate, but did see this place while in Costa Maya a couple of years ago. The area is small and is located in a pool area, right on the ocean near the ships. If you are looking to purchase an excursion from the ship, I would not. You can easily walk up and book a time on-your-own. You may have to wait a while, however. We did check on the cost, and available times. After watching a few participants, we decided not to partake. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
in2up2 Posted June 20, 2018 #3 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Hi - has anyone ever been on this excursion - if so..feedback/opinions? Thank you!! We did the dolphin swim there 5 or 6 years ago. You can book online yourself. No need to pay the ship tour price. It's a standard dolphin swim. Have since done a different one elsewhere with a younger child and was pretty much the same. If a dolphin swim is what you want to do, this one is fine. And since in my experience there wasn't much to do in Costa Maya, as good a place as any.

AUPilot14 Posted June 20, 2018 #4 Share Posted June 20, 2018 The wife and I are doing it on our July 14th cruise on Equinox. Will report back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bflowercar Posted June 20, 2018 Author #5 Share Posted June 20, 2018 Thank you all!! Please do report back - we will wait until arriving in port to book! Appreciate it! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWFL Cruisers Posted June 20, 2018 #6 Share Posted June 20, 2018 In my opinion the Dolphin excursion in Costa Maya is a joke. If you are going to Grand Cayman I would do it there. You do much more for a longer period of time. Honestly everything in Costa Maya is a joke. They could eliminate that port from every itinerary and I believe nobody would miss it. And while they are at it they can get rid of Nassau too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to see animals - unless they are rescue - contained for no other reason than human entertainment. Appreciate the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkgourmet Posted June 21, 2018 #9 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I was going to say the same as pmcue, but hesitated. We did this in Acapulco years ago, before the media made people aware of the effect on the dolphins. I admit that it was a wonderful, exciting and educational experience. I also admit that, with the hindsight of additional knowledge, it's something that we deeply regret supporting with our dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
