What to expect

Spending the day as a dolphin trainer is a dream job for many, and this excursion turns those dreams into a reality. You'll take a boat cruise to the beautiful Isla Mujeres, just off the coast of Cancun, for an encounter with dolphins. Learn how to train them and get to know their cheeky personalities in this immersive experience.

On arrival at Isla Mujeres, you'll get stuck in right away with a 40-minute dolphin encounter. Tour the facilities to understand the research and breeding programmes before you help in a training session. You'll take part in exercises used to train the dolphins every day, and you'll see for your own eyes how clever these animals really are.

We'll then break for a buffet lunch before getting back in the water for a 60-minute royal connection experience where you'll be able to swim alongside these incredible creatures. At the end, you'll be presented with your very own trainer diploma before cruising back to Playa Langosta.
