Chankanaab National Park in Cozumel, Mexico

This is one of the best excursions I have experienced. In researching things to do in Cozumel I found Chankanaab National Park. When I saw their dolphin excursion I knew I wanted to do this one. I swam with the dolphins  a couple of years ago but not in Cozumel. Also this park has a lot to offer for the price. They have swimming with dolphins and manatees, soaring through the air on a zip line, kayaking,  a sea lion show, crocodile farm, archeological path of sculptures and botanical gardens with 350 species of plants. They also have underwater Christ and Virgin sculptures for diving, scuba, sea trec, and snorkeling off a reef and a beach you can just relax on. Would you believe they have a Spa where you can relax and get a massage? They also have a buffet that is included in some of the packages and beverages are also available.

They have free lockers so bring a swimsuit for your excursions and you will definitely need water shoes. I like these water shoes.

That’s me in the picture above. The 2 dolphins are pushing me by my feet and lifting me up out of the water. This dolphin excursion is the Royal Swim. It’s the best.  After swimming with the dolphins I swam with the manatees.  This was also a great experience but nothing like the dolphin swim.

Chankanaab National Park is a wonderful place to visit if you are in Cozumel.  You will have an amazing time whether you have a few hours or the whole day.  Admission to the park is $21.00 for adults and $14.00 for children but if you book an excursion the park admission is FREE.  Also if you book the excursions over the phone with Dolphin Discovery at least 7 days in advance they are giving 10% – 25% discounts.  The dolphin swims range from $74.25 – $119.25 if booked 7 days in advance.  This is the best price I have ever seen and they are a short taxi ride from the cruise terminal.

If any of you visit Chankanaab Park, let me know how you liked it.  I will return there when I’m back in Cozumel.
