What to expect

Training dolphins is one of those jobs that sound beyond our reach – until now. This dolphin trainer experience at Xelha is your chance to get to know dolphins in a hands-on way. You'll spend the entire day learning about these incredible animals while teaching them new tricks.

With groups limited to just six guests, this full day activity is truly immersive. Under the guidance of an expert trainer, you'll be taught everything you need to know about dolphins – their diet, behaviour and training techniques. You'll be in an out of the pool, taking part in exercises that they use to train them every day including sign language, jumps, petting and so much more.

To keep your energy up for such a hard day's work, you'll be served a buffet lunch with drinks halfway through the day. What's more, you'll get to know everything about the breeding programmes.

Activities

Riviera Maya Day of the Dead Celebrations with dinner

Celebrate like a local on Mexico's biggest and most vibrant holiday with this Day of the Dead outing. You'll dive into ancient traditions, and get a memorable glimpse into one of Mexico's most significant cultural events. Lucas, one of our local expert guides, says, ‘Dià de los Muertos is like a family reunion – but with an otherworldly twist. It's a joyful celebration where families honour loved ones through storytelling, music, dancing and of course, delicious food.' Kick off your journey by plunging into the crystal-clear waters of Mexico's mystical cenote – an underground river that's the perfect refreshing start to your adventure. After your swim, you'll sample traditional festival foods like 'pan de muerto', a sweet bread baked in the shape of skulls or bones, as well as savoury tamales, both believed to comfort the souls of the departed. Throughout the day, you'll also learn about cool traditions like ‘offrendas' – offerings to loved ones – and the significance of bright orange marigold flowers. Next, roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with Mexican culinary magic by making your own guacamole. Sip on local wines while a chef spills the secrets behind regional flavours and cooking techniques. Lucas adds, ‘We whip up all the favourite foods and drinks of our loved ones to show we still care. Plus, we even set out their favourite snacks on the altars – you know, just in case they get hungry!' The tour wraps up with a dinner that captures the essence of the day, offering unforgettable memories and a whole new appreciation for Mexico's rich cultural heritage.
