    So my wife wants to swim with dolphins and we are torn between these two places. It seems like the Aquarium is downtown near the market/mall and I am unsure where Dolphinarius is. Dolphinarius is a little cheaper however not by much just wanted to really see whatr is the better experience.

    Thanks

    The aquarium is at La Isla mall at Km 12.5 which isn't downtown. Wet and Wild is at the end of the hotel zone around Km 24.

    Dolphinaris at Wet and Wild would be my choice, there you swim with them in an enclosure in the open sea. At the aquarium it's more like a swimming pool with some dolphins in it.

    Dude just seen they have the dolphin swim on isla mujures, you'd save yourself some time and money by doing both in the same day...

    Steve,

    I plan on booking this online for the Isla dolphin swim since they have lunch, alcohol and transportation from cancun to the island. My question is do you know any promo codes or where i can find them for booking online?

    Is graffton park worth the extra $ for this?

    sounds good john and please feel free to come say Hi to us I am about 6ft and 195lbs and my wife is about 5ft 6" with long brown hair (cant say her weight or I will be a dead man).

    It would be cool if you guys went to the island the same day I will keep you posted on what day and we will prob book in advance as they give a discount online and I can pay with CC and not worry about the international BS fees.

    We will def chat at the resort about the insurance IF you want no big deal.
