This page helps you plan your visit to Interactive Aquarium Cancun: what it is, opening hours and how to get there. Tickets are bought from the operator. What you book with us is the private round-trip transfer, at a fixed price per vehicle.
What is the Interactive Aquarium Cancun?
It is a small aquarium and dolphin habitat operated by Delphinus inside La Isla Shopping Village, on the Nichupte lagoon. You can visit it as an aquarium only, with general admission, or book one of its dolphin swim programs.
General admission covers the marine species exhibits and educational activities. Two combos are sold: with a dolphin presentation (MXN 425.31) and with a ride on the Sky Wheel Cancun Ferris wheel (MXN 591.81).
Anyone who books a dolphin swim gets into the aquarium free; companions who don't swim pay admission. This is the only Delphinus habitat with the Premium program, which adds a 20-minute Aquarium Trek: an underwater helmet walk inside the aquarium.
The difference from Delphinus Punta Cancun (km 5, inside the Hyatt Ziva) is that here you get the aquarium, parking and the mall around you: restaurants, shops and the Ferris wheel. The operator suggests setting aside 5 to 6 hours for the swim and the area.
