Aquarium Visits in Mexico: 4 Lined Up by Price and Hours

1.Interactive Aquarium – Swim with Dolphins Splash

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 49 reviews · 35 min · from $127Our pick

Meet dolphins at Interactive Aquarium Cancún inside Plaza La Isla. You will watch a dolphin presentation, learn about physiology, anatomy, and behavior, then spend 20 minutes in the water during 10 guided activities, including a kiss. Groups are limited to 10, with English and Spanish hosts.

“We loved being in the pool and interacting with the dolphins but for the money didn’t seem long enough. By the time we checked in, got changed and had a talk about the dolphin, we had a few photos then it finished. 15 minutes with the dolphins for what we paid was a bit expensive for a family on a budget. That was without any photos. We then had to pay $53 per photo or they had packages which worked out cheaper but still very expensive in total.”

4.Grand Aquarium Ticket and City Sightseeing Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 32 reviews · 4.5 - 5 hours · from $98

Spend 4.5 to 5 hours visiting Mazatlán’s Grand Aquarium and touring the city in a traditional open-air vehicle. Your English- or Spanish-speaking guide collects you from a hotel, cruise terminal, or Airbnb, and premium entry gets you past the ticket line. Look for the Humboldt penguins, sea lions, sharks, and manta rays. Guides such as Moises have earned praise for lively local insight.

“The guides should speak English as it is a tourist attraction. Many Canadians.”
