For manatee lovers the world over, Dolphin Discovery is thrilled to announce its newest program in Cozumel: the Manatee Encounter. The Manatee Encounter was added in 2010 and is truly a one of a kind adventure AND the only swim with manatees program in the Caribbean.
Manatees are beautiful and enormous creatures that in ancient times wereonce thought by sailors to be mermaids. Even though manatees are consider one of the gentle giants of the sea, they can grow to be as long as 13ft/4m and weigh up to 1300 lbs/600 kgs!
So bring the family to live the experience of swimming with manatees in the paradise of Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park in Cozumel where you will be surrounded by beautiful flora and fauna with vistas of the turquoise sea. Submerse yourself in the underwater world of the manatee, share a kiss and a hug and even feed these magnificent creatures while swimming with them in their home in the sea. You and your family will create memories for a lifetime and share a magical time with these manatees.
Dolphin Discovery Cozumel is located in Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park. As well as offering world class diving and snorkeling from a pristine beach, this beautiful park houses a variety of birds, the sea lion show, a botanical garden, reproductions of famous archeological sites, a typical Mayan village, an underground river, a tropical lagoon teeming with brightly colored tropical fish, restaurants and bars as well as a dive shop and Sea Trek helmet diving.

Hi Sherri, thank you so much for finalizing our Dolphin Royal Swim and changing the time slot as you suggested. It makes more sense and I really appreciate your input. I will definitely pass your name forward for future travelers. Actually my daughter and her husband gave me your name since they were there last year at your PalMar SMALL Beach Club. Nothing but praise for you. Thanks again, if we get a chance we will try to stop by and say hi. Rich C Rich C. (July 2016) ~ Inverness, FL

Two friends and I booked the dolphin swim AND got the manatee encounter for 15 minutes for thru Cozumel Insider. The manatee was FREE. The price, including the park, was only $88 when booked in advance. The park fee alone is $21...that's $77 PP for both a dolphin swim with about 11 others, incl. 4 children, AND the manatee. Our party of 3 were the only ones to get the manatee and she was a highlight of our trip. We got to feed her lettuce for almost 15 minutes as the guide explained her life to us. We are grateful for both experiences at such a great price. Thanks, Sherri. I can see where it's harder to find your story on your site. Can you repost it? It's very unusual and inspirational to others. Cheryl & Michael, MA C. Pimental ~ Hingham, MA USA

Just got back from our cruise and wanted to let you know how much fun we had at Chankanaab Park. My daughter, Emily, had the most wonderful dolphin experience and the $2.00 off coupon for me to get into the park worked like a charm. And, your confirmation email telling us about getting to the park was very helpful. Thank you for the experience! This was well organized and an absolutely perfect day in Cozumel for us! We (the old ladies in my family) are coming back in February, I'll be sure to connect with you again as we'll do the dolphin swim with you again. The Kershek Family ~ Wisconsin, USA

Just wanted to say what a great experience we had on our Dolphin Excursion booked thru Cozumel Insider! The customer service/emails from Martin answering all our questions were extremely helpful! We were able to do more interactions with the dolphins and manatee that other groups were not able to do since they booked thru the cruise lines. The price was a huge savings also! T hanks so much for providing great service and a great experience! Mary G. (March 2015) ~ Franklin, TN USA
