Riviera Maya Mexico Attractions
* Dolphin Discovery. An unforgettable interactive
experience. Swimming with dolphins is everything you've
imagined and more - and a chance to encounter these
highly intelligent and friendly marine mammals which
will fascinate and amaze you.
* Snorkeling — logically enough, is the second
most popular activity. Many beach-side dive shops rent
equipment for $7-10. Even though all beaches in Mexico
are public, some require fees to enter and use the facilities.
Beaches with a rocky limestone shoreline on the west
coast are the best for snorkeling or shore dives, since
less sand is disturbed so visibility and coral growth
are better.
* Xcaret Eco Theme Park Swim With Dolphin's. Located in
Playa del Carmen, 45 minutes from Cancun. Parking is adjacent
to the entrance, and it is a short walk to the amenities.
Great place for children as well as adults. *
Xel-Ha is an ecological theme park or natural aquarium.
Here you can swim with dolphins, see sea turtles, bicycle,
snorkel, cliff-dive, and scuba. If you choose to scuba
you will get to pet stingrays and see larger fish. This
park is quite large, so bring good shoes to walk up
river, you bag your dry belongings and they will be
driven back to the main area. There is a buffet restaurant
and free drinks as part of the park entry-fee, as well
as snorkel equipment and rafts.
* Aviario Xaman-Ha is a beautiful Aviary where
you will find different species, not just birds, other
animal species like the butterflies, "iguanas",
turtles and other small mammals. The animals and plants
that live here are in their natural habitat and they
live in semi-captivity. We have endemic, threaten and
in extinction danger species.
