taking my 6yr old to Cancun in March, just wondering where I would find the best dolphin swimming? Any other suggestions on what to do while in cancun would be appreciated too. Thankyou

Message: I would ask you to please reconsider the dolphin swim. They are incredibly cruel. I did it once and was sorry ever since. No matter how clean or nice it looks, more than half of the dolphins die within 60 to 90 days of capture.

(The second site is the Humane Society of the United States' position on SWTD programs.)

Agree with Diana. This is an incredibly cruel world for the dolphins, and if you pay to participate, you will be helping to keep the industry alive and more dolphins will be captured and die in these horrible parks.

Another request to ask you to reconsider, and try other activities that are kinder...
The beach in Cancun is so heavenly and the pools at most hotels so lovely, I think a 6 year old would have a hard time getting bored with just those activities!
But trips to Tulum and Chichen Iza would be wonderful experiences for any child. There's good snorkeling in Isla (and it's a fun boat ride over) as well as in Cozumel...
thanks for listening!

Please don't swim with captive dolphins! Research at the sites mentioned will better explain, than I can, why it is such a bad idea. I don't know about Cancun but in PV there are boats that take you out to observe dolphins in the wild.
