Dolphinarium at Moon Palace
Resort - Mexico
Palace Resorts has announced the addition of a dolphinarium at the
brand’s signature property, Moon Palace Golf & Spa Resort, in Cancun. Part
of the resort’s multi-million dollar enhancement project, the attraction is
managed by a team of trainers from Dolphin Discovery, members of the
International Marine Animal Trainers Association, with facilities in Isla
Mujeres, Cozumel, Puerto Aventuras and throughout the Caribbean. This latest
addition to Palace Resorts’ offerings will allow guests the opportunity to
safely swim and interact with eight friendly dolphins, in a state-of-the-art,
saltwater aquarium that is more than 37,000 square feet in size. Guests can also use the Palace Resorts $1,500 Resort Credit offer to book this new activity,
although the $1,500 Resort Credit can only be used toward Dolphin Discovery
activities when booking the Ultimate Swim Experience.
Starting at $129 per person, visitors to Dolphin Discovery will participate in a 15-minute orientation followed by a 40 minute dolphin experience for guests where they learn about these highly intelligent mammals before suiting up with a life jacket, goggles and snorkel to engage in activities with the dolphins that range from belly rides to feedings. Children under the age of eight years old must be accompanied by an adult.
The interactive experience is available up to five times a day for 10 to 15 guests at a time. The attraction will offer three types of experiences for guests: Dolphin Encounter, Royal Swim and Ultimate Dolphin Swim.
The Dolphin Encounter is ideal for families, with the opportunity to
swim with the dolphins and receive warm handshakes, hugs and kisses.
The Royal Swim is a program which includes the famous foot push, where the dolphins swim underneath the guests and gently push them to the surface by their feet.
The interactive program also features the dorsal tow, where two dolphins pull
the guest with their dorsal fins.
The Ultimate Dolphin Swim offers free time with the dolphins, a belly ride and a peek at the friendly mammals through submarine views.
