The best Gift ever: dolphin’s friendship

By Ana Rojas

I just want to share one of the most beautiful experiences we have in Dolphin Discovery at Puerto Aventuras (Riviera Maya).

My mom an myself did the Sea Life Discovery Plus Program which is itself a great package for those marine animal lovers!, however, what I would like to share with you is the impact caused to my mom which made this experience absolutely unique.

My mom lives in a city and is not used to be in contact with natural things so often so this was a surprise for her. Just to see her face while she was in the water with each type of creatures was the best “Thanks” I could have back. She was sooooo happy and thrilled to discover a completely different world full of peace, safety, fun and beautiful animals. Touch them, pet them, play with them and even kiss them was a gift for her and she did not wanted to leave the water at all…. Her DVD is her treasure and she never misses an opportunity to share it with any one at home.

I am really glad to know that we had the opportunity to do this extraordinary activity! Thanks a lot for such a great moment!

For all dolphins’ fans!

Ever since I was a young child, my favorite animal has always been the dolphins. As I grew older and had the chance to adventure and travel, I certainly had in mind to swim with these adorable, intelligent and friendly mammals.

Indeed my dream came true, because I took my holidays to the Caribbean and had to visit beautiful and sunny Cancun. The dolphinarium that I chose was Dolphin Discovery, and the program was called Royal Swim. Wow, one of the best experiences of my life. We were just ten people in the water with our instructor. The names of our dolphins were Ixchel and Alexia

Once in the water, we had the opportunity to kiss the dolphins, hug them and of course they kissed us, first on our cheek, and then on our lips, just to have them so close and to see their eternal smile was amazing. The first part of the program was on a platform and then we swam into the water, and that was when the fun started. They gave us the incredible foot push; this was exhilarating because they pushed me from the bottom of my feet from one side of the water to the other. Here I had the feeling that I was standing out of the water, and going at full speed, my friends and the rest of the participants were all laughing, because I had a funny laugh. Immediately after we had the dorsal tow, which I had to hold their fins and again at full speed they took me from one side to the other. Thirty minutes went by so fast that it seemed like it took only five.

This is something that I will repeat, and my love for them grew even more after I had this once in a life time experience.
