Cozumel Dolphin Discovery - Swimming with Sea Lions at Chankanaab Beach Adventure Park
You might have seen a sea lion show before, but you've never experienced anything like the Cozumel Sea Lion Discovery excursion. Instead of sitting in the bleachers and watching the action from above, you'll be part of the experience. Swim with the sea lions as they welcome you to their natural habitat, and then gape in awe as they do everything they can to impress you. Natural performers, the seas lions will sing, dance, jump, and perform tricks to get your attention. And they'll have it during this exciting sea lion swimming adventure.
Before you begin your sea lion swimming adventure, you'll get a quick briefing. Then, you can get into the pool, where the sea lions will rush to greet you. After some nuzzles and hugs, it will be time to swim with sea lions. Don't be surprised if the sea lions stop the swim to show off a bit. They know so many tricks, and they love the shocked looks when they perform them. Cheer your new friends on as they jump, twist, and sing for your amusement. Don't be afraid to join in the dancing, either. This is a party in the water, so participate.
You'll even get some photos from the experience. A professional photographer takes pictures of all Cozumel Sea Lion Discovery tours, so say cheese!
Once your Cozumel Sea Lion Discovery adventure is over, it'll be time to get out of the water and explore the rest of Chankanaab Adventure Park. You can go snorkeling, swimming, and so much more.
This is easily one of the most exciting tours in Cozumel. You'd be hard-pressed to find something that will bring you more joy, so reserve a spot for the Cozumel Sea Lion Discovery today.
