What to expect

It's not just dolphins that call Mexico's Dolphin Discovery Park home – there are manatees here, too. This exclusive experience lets you meet these friendly marine mammals, known as sea cows, under the supervision of an expert. You'll get 25 minutes in the water, swimming alongside these gentle giants and learn all about their behaviours. Want to top off the experience? Choose the option to hop on a catamaran for a 90-minute cruise through the turquoise waters of Riviera Maya after your manatee meet and greet. Breakfast and an open bar are included on the cruise, which takes you past the white beach of Xpu-ha. Whether you choose the manatee experience on its own or with the cruise, it's a memory that'll last long after your tan has faded.

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.
