Went to Sauza distillery for my birthday. Absolutely amazing experience... After the tour, we were led back to Casa Sauza for some drinks. I'll never forget it. Thank you!

We had a tequila tour in English and there was only another couple with us so it was quite a private tour. We visited the guava field and watched how the plants get harvested. We visited the distillery and had some tequila shots. It was a good tour but for my taste the tour guide could have explained a little bit more or could have taken more care about us. During the drive to the field and back she didn’t talk to us at all and didn’t try to entertain us or give us some information about tequila. That’s why I only give 4 stars.

Beautiful old hacienda close to centre of the town of Tequila. Good off street parking across the road . Nice quiet gardens with the sound of Mexican music pumping into the serenity !
Nim J — Google review
We discovered Casa Sauza by accident, and it was a fantastic experience. The grounds and garden are immaculate, and the ambiance is peaceful and serene. We felt and were treated like royalty by the staff, and the food and drinks were amazing. We started with house made salsa and chips, and I ordered a Sauza margarita rimmed with Tajin. Next, we ordered a tuna tartare dish and a wrapped tuna dish that touched every sensory signal on our taste buds. Lord willing, I will be back very soon. The next time, I will plan on spending two full days in this Pueblo Magico. I feel like we just touched the surface of this town, and there are many memories left to be made!

I was in Tequila, so I had to check this place out! My significant other and I walked here in anticipation for some tequila history! We walked past the entrance and the view made me instantly feel as if I was in a garden. It was quiet and calm. After that area, we ended up at Los Recuerdos De Sauza. We purchased the Perseverancia tour. The tour guide walked us to La Constancia for the first part of the tour. Once we arrived, we had to put on a helmet to enter the building. That was interesting. It was basically a large barrel room. We were told about the process and then given a sample of Sauza Blue Agave Hacienda Tequila Gold. I thought it was smooth and easy to handle. After we left, we headed not too far to “La Perseverancia”. This was where a lot of moving parts took place. It was interesting to absorb what went on here. We were given a sample of Sauza Blue Agave Hacienda Tequila Silver. This one brought some heat! It was strong, but casual and tasty. Our last thing to do was to make our own Cantarito. This was an exciting experience, especially since I’ve only had one Cantarito ever prior to this experience. The process was fun! The drink ended up being pretty good. I got to keep the cup, so that practically worked out as a souvenir for me! The tour guide was amazing and friendly! She explained everything thoroughly during the tour. Overall, this place was worth the stop for me. I enjoyed how things seemed to be spread out widely and that we had to walk a lot. I would love to come back here someday. Date of visit: 10/01/2024

We had the pleasure of going on their English tour. A lovely woman who taught us a bunch of the things about the making of tequila. I recommend this place! Make sure to grab a bottle or two after the tour, their tequila is great.

We had our lunch and I must say it is a beautiful place. You could take a stroll in their beautiful garden while your food comes. We did not do their tour but the experience in the restaurant was good . Service was slightly slow given that we had a time crunch for our tour.

Not only one of the most beautiful places to eat in Tequila but maybe all of Mexico. A hidden gem of a hacienda style restaurant with amazing service, food and ambiance. I highly recommended you visit here when in or near Tequila, Jalisco, Mexico.

Fábrica La Rojeña

Mentioned on 
+17 other lists 
Distillery
Food & Drink
Amusement center
Fábrica La Rojeña, located in the town of Tequila just 40 miles northwest of Guadalajara, is Latin America's oldest distillery dating back to 1798. It is owned by Jose Cuervo, Mexico's largest tequila maker. The distillery offers guided tours that provide insight into the process of making tequila. Visitors can witness the operations and learn about the production firsthand.
Fábrica La Rojeña in Tequila is an absolute must-visit if you're exploring the town! This is the birthplace of José Cuervo, and the tour is both informative and fun. The guide was fantastic, walking us through every step of the tequila-making process with clarity (thankfully, they had mics and speakers to make it easy to follow even in the louder areas). The highlight for me was the tasting at the end—splurging on the tasting package is totally worth it. I had no idea tequila could have so much depth and flavor! The ambiance is lively and authentic, and the whole experience feels like a deep dive into Mexican culture. There’s no pressure to buy, but the exclusive tequilas at factory prices are tempting. Whether you’re a tequila fan or just curious, this is one of those tours you shouldn’t skip. Just show up, and they’ll take care of the rest. Cheers to an unforgettable experience!
Zeno C — Google review
A truly beautiful tequila distillery nestled in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Tequila. The tour we joined was incredibly informative, offering a clear understanding of the tequila distilling process, and we got to taste a variety of tequilas, which was a fantastic highlight.
Seth M — Google review
We spent 4 hours at the Jose Cuervo distillery learning all about the distilling process, tasting different tequilas, learning how to drink tequila, blending our own tequila and, finally, lunch. Alfredo, our guide, also took us through Jose Cuervo's and tequila's history as well as the controls around the whole agave and tequila production process. A really good tour.
Mathew K — Google review
Brilliant! 100% don't miss!! So many sites on the internet say this place is only open certain days. If the review you read is more than 5 minutes old l, forget it. This town is evolving and distilleries like this are pretty much open everyday. Just show up and ask for a tour. I have been to Mexico about 20 times and my favorite thing is to visit small unique towns. Tequila is an incredible place if you want authentic Mexican culture, food, kind people, and good vibes. But this town has one extra thing, tequila!!! La Rojeña is where the José Cuervo magic happens. The tour is completely informative, explaining the tequila making process in detail, and at the end (if you pay the extra pesos for the tasting package, a MUST in my opinion) you get a view into tequila flavors and nuance that I never knew existed! Trust me, stop reading this review and just go there! The tasting at the end is amazing! It was absolutely brilliant! Our guide (sorry, can't remember her name) was perfect. At each stop, though the factory is loud, she had a mic connected to Bose speakers so you could hear every word (I did the English speaking tour). At the end you can buy special made tequilas at factory prices. Absolutely no pressure to buy, but a good deal all the same! I am fairly cynical when it comes to touristy things, this is a 100% don't miss!!!

Fun and informative tours! We did the classic plus the extra tasting. Our guide spoke great English, was incredibly knowledgeable, and fun to spend an hour with. You get to see quite a bit of the factory and drink 3 strong shots before even starting the tasting so be prepared to consume a good amount of tequila. Would recommend to a friend.
Kent S — Google review
If you enjoy drinking low-quality, industrial tequila loaded with artificial additives, then this is the place for you! Otherwise, I strongly recommend visiting La Fortaleza, Cascahuín, or Casa Atanasio, just a few of the family-owned distilleries that still honor the true tradition of tequila making.
Diego H — Google review
From the video at the beginning of the tour to the tasting at the end this experience was well worth the 400+ pesos we spent. Our guide was amazing! The tequila was palate changing. Would go again in a heart beat.

Parroquia Santiago Apostol

Mentioned on 
+7 other lists 
Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Parroquia Santiago Apostol is a stunning baroque church located in the central plaza, featuring a single nave structure built with reddish-brown volcanic stone sourced from a nearby volcano. The 17th-century building boasts elegant stained-glass windows and houses the remains of Santo Toribio Romo Gonzalez, the patron saint of immigrants. The church exudes character with its imperfections adding to its charm.
There is a sweet scent in the air. It was Friday night and there was a mass taking place. There was a woman who was leading the worship. It appeared to me that most everyone present was a local. The building itself is beautiful , it does have much character and some of the imperfections give it much of its patina. The remains of Santo Toribio Romo Gonzalez the patron saint of immigrants are kept there. Outside the church are vendors and lovers and families. Food is delicious.

Parroquia El Expiatorio Eucarístico

Mentioned on

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
The Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento is a remarkable neo-Gothic church in Mexico, known for its Italian mosaics, stained glass windows, and a clock tower. Designed by Adamo Boari, the construction of this historic church took 75 years to complete due to disruptions caused by the Mexican Revolution. Despite being a popular tourist spot, it offers visitors quiet corners for reflection and tranquility within its large premises.
Free to enter. A very beautiful gothic style church. It feels like you are entering a majestic and divine forest. Wonderful place to pray and connect with God for believers. It wasn’t very busy when we went as well so it was incredibly serene.

Beautiful church, open and quite. I always think.church should be open to every one, and this is. Offer great arts and historical construction as well. Many Mexicanas are getting married every weekends as well, and local markets are being held at night. Valuable place for Guadalajara. I personally liked it better than the one in Firenze in terms of the functionality as.a church.

Such a beautiful church. Do yourself a favor and assure you come here. If you can talk your way into the catacombs downstairs too, it will make an experience you won't soon forget. If you can't, I've added lots of photos. There is a small show outside when the hours turn. Make time to peruse the surrounding areas. It is good manners to assure you leave a donation before you depart.

Guadalajara's Cathedral

Mentioned on

Catholic cathedral
Sights & Landmarks
Guadalajara Cathedral, a grand 16th and 17th-century structure, houses the relics of St. Innocent. The cathedral is located in a neighborhood dominated by historical landmarks such as the Governor's Palace and the Hospicio Cabanas. The latter was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its original chapel adorned with striking apocalyptic murals by artist Jose Clemente Orozco.
Beautiful breathtaking church! I visit often and every time I am always in awe of its beauty. The mass is beautiful and the acoustics of the church make the mass service more amazing.
Evelin G — Google review
An amalgamation of architectural styles with much history relative to most buildings in the Americas. The icons in the cathedral are sometimes more bloody in depiction than other churches I have visited. Greater emphasis on Mary in churches and cathedrals here, congruent with the attempt to overlay pagan deities with saints and Holy Mothers. There is another separate church attached. This part of the city is very walkable and Guadalajara’s devotion to the arts is admirable
Laura C — Google review
Catedral Basílica de la Asunción de María Santísima remains central to Guadalajara where it has stood since the 17th century. Still architecturally stunning despite fires, age and earthquakes the capitol's center of worship is a must-see from the detailed pulpit to crypts below. Home to the relics of St. Innocent, expect large crowds during times of worship.
Michael U — Google review
It's a large and imposing building that I wouldn't exactly call beautiful. The architecture seems eclectic, and the towers seem out of place withe rest of the building there are quite a few beggars and questionable characters hanging out in front of the church. Other than that, a nice edifice, just not the nicest.

Teatro Degollado stands as a stunning example of neoclassical architecture in Guadalajara, Mexico, and is a true cultural gem in the heart of Jalisco. This magnificent theater not only showcases exquisite design but also serves as the home for the Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra. It plays host to an array of significant cultural events, including the National Traditional Mariachi Encounter and the Cultural Festival of May.
Very beautiful, amazing theatre. Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco had a wonderful concert. Really unforgettable experience for us.
Ari L — Google review
The teatro Degollado is a mid-19 century jewel built in 1856-1866. It has gone through many renovation throughout the century. It was originally called teatro Alarcón, in honor of the classical playwright Juan Ruiz de Alarcón. After the Reform wars(1857-1861) the governor Pedro Ogazon changed the name to Santos Degollado,former governor and general who died in battle in 1861. Most of the renovations of the theater were done to improve the interior design and reinforce the roof of the building. Between 1953-1959 artist Roberto Montenegro designed and crafted the mosaic of Apollo and the Nine Muses on the theaters pediment. 16 Corinthian columns support the pediment. The theater is now home of the Jalisco Philharmonic and the place of high artistic performances. Book your private tours of Guadalajara with me! And let’s explore Guadalajara together!

Zoologico Guadalajara is a popular zoo that offers a diverse range of animals, shows, train tours, and an aquarium. It's known as one of the nice parks in Guadalajara due to its wide variety of animal classifications, including wild animals, numerous bird species, and predatory animals.
Great zoo! So much to see. Great for families!!! Lots of different animals from all over the world…looks like all animals are well taken care of..parking was easy 100 pesos, and we got the premier ticket which was totally worth it…you can spend days here, nice when we went wasn’t too busy.

Best zoo ever! It has a safari experience, a lifting chair and train ride that takes you around the zoo. I loved that it's very clean and has beautiful scenery everywhere you look. If you miss the hours to feed the bigger animals, you can go to the deers section and feed those instead. They are not encaptured and roaming wildly free. This zoo also has a farm area, where you can see, feed, brush, and pet horses and goats. It is a very big zoo, so plan on spending the whole day there, especially if you are walking through it all. I enjoyed that we went on a weekday avoiding the busy crowds. I was very impressed and my child loved it too! We can't wait to go back!

Hospicio Cabañas, located in Guadalajara's historic center, is a renowned 18th-century complex that has transitioned from a facility for the needy to a hub of art and culture. Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it now houses the Instituto Cultural Cabañas, showcasing an extensive collection of contemporary Mexican artworks, including pieces by Jose Clemente Orozco and French artist Daniel Buren.
I highly recommend anyone coming to Guadalajara to make a visit to this museum. Tuesdays are free. The murals in the chapel are breathtaking and should not be missed. As well, there are several exhibition rooms that showcase a variety of art and genres.

A mixed bag. Tickets are affordable and available, there is hardly a line to enter the place. The interior houses a few photo galleries, with rotating expositions, and not much else. The central building with it's high vaulted ceilings and frescoes is the main attraction. It is peaceful though and at times you will find yourself alone in this huge complex.

Really dont like rating so low but besides the history of the building there are few unimpressive exhibits. Orozco murals are good, if cost was lower perhaps 2 stars. Didn't understand massive historical building, nice courtyards, yet so little to see for 110 pesos. Was a large group of important people back of building closed off didnt help the experience.

A must visit place in Guadalajara. With it's long history as an hospice and culture space this colonial jem helds different contemporary art exhibitions and one of the mos extraordinary murales in México.

I enjoyed the park. However, when we entered, we asked the man if we can park ahead instead of parking in the entrance and the man said yes. So when we left we couldn’t leave the park, because the man put a chain at the entrance. What’s the point of telling us that we can park ahead and not keep your word? There were 2 other cars behind us who couldn’t get out the park.

Very beautiful atmosphere. It's very clean to walk around and a lot of pop up shops to buy cute little trinkets. There are also several food options wether it's to rat or buy some delicious snacks. The water of course is a little mirky, like pond water since it is a lagoon. Overall great place to sight see and enjoy a couple of hours.

Spectacular waterfall!!! WARNING ⚠️ The truck ride back is crazy! We waited over an hour for the driver to take us back to the top of the hike. Expect a crazy long wait. Even so, it is very worth it!

Beautiful area, worth the hike. The guy at the gate up top was a total jerk, he made the whole experience stressful. Didn't explain anything, just told us we couldn't enter. It's like the community forces people to go on a horseback tour if you want to enter.
Owner V — Google review
Nice hike down a stone road lined with cabins. Downhill to get to the waterfall then back up to return. Your experience at the falls would likely depend on the amount of people that are also there. It is possible to climb behind the water.
Billy M — Google review
Nice hike and falls, I do recommend visiting this part of Mexico in the rainy season because everything is green. Note they do charge an entrance fee (40 pesos per person) and if you want a ride (on their trucks) or horses that is separate. For the horses it was 125 pesos per hour. For the truck it was 40 pesos to go down and another 40 pesos to come back up
Chessel O — Google review
The walk is long with lots of up and down. The entry fee is 30 pesos, but consider paying an extra 20 per person for the ride down to the cascada - fountain. You will still have to earn quite a bit and down the side of a mountain to the actual falls. Same thing with horses, except that the horse ride is 250 pesos pet person. There are washrooms at the bottom before you go down to the falls but no water; so carry yours with you.
Jagdeep R — Google review
Walking instructions from Mazamitla: I'm writing this because if you're only looking on Google maps, it's legit confusing as to how you even get to the waterfall. You have to walk to where it shows Los Cazos on Google. There's a gate there into Los Cazos, as it's private residences/cabanas. On the lefthand side of the gate, there's a foot path and you walk along that, there's a small window to pay 30 pesos for entry. After that, the signs within Los Cazos are easy to follow to reach the waterfall. Note: pay close attention to the route. There are quite a few streets in the subdivision, and a lot of turns are kind of similar looking. So it's easy enough to find your way in, but on the way out I took a wrong turn. The hike is great from town. It wasn't what I expected, as the majority is walking along cobblestone streets vs. a forest path. However the cabanas in Los Cazos are great! All of them. They're pretty much full blown houses vs. cabanas, but each one is unique and is in a lovely setting. I went on a Wed morning in mid-February. I sat at the waterfall by myself for an hour. Secret: want an actual hike through the forest? At the bottom of the stairs of the waterfall, to the left, there's a path that goes along the river. You have to hop the fence. It's well worth it. It goes along the river for a little ways, then it climbs. And climbs. And climbs. But where it takes you is outstanding. You end up on a road, and at the top there are a bunch of other roads (that look like they haven't been used in years) and trails and a sign that said Bison Eco Park. I had no idea where to go from there, so I laid on a bed of pine needles in the forest for a bit and snacked and chilled, then went back to the bottom of the waterfall again. Was worth it. I have zero doubt that if I had followed the proper trail/road at the top that I would have popped out at a main road. But, I was fine with what I did and the route I took. When people say it's uphill on the way back... it's uphill on the way back. From the base of the waterfall to Centro Mazamitla, it's steadily uphill besides one small downhill part. Not difficult, but I was pooped by the end and chilled in the main square for a bit.

A unique little church tucked away in the middle of this Rancho. Very appealing to the eye as it's beauty lies within the parishioners. As I tour through different places in Mexico the first place I go is to the church. It defines the city or town and this church says the town is poor but it people are rich in spirit and quality of life. Religion is big here and that's what makes this town so beautiful. They may not have much but what they have they are willing to share. This is a place that will greet you with open arms.

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! I love this lake! It is so beautiful and peaceful. I love to just look at the trees or just sit and watch the water. The Mexican government is upgrading the sidewalks, restrooms, and some of the buildings around the lake, as it is a National Park. Also, when you enter the park, you may want to drop off elderly family members or moms with strollers before you head up the hill to the parking lot. The walk down after you park your vehicle is dusty and steep in places. It can get very busy during holiday seasons and weekends. There is swimming and boating allowed, you can also rent a boat and a guide to take you around the lake. You can bring a picnic lunch or buy food from one of the restaurants. There are also artisans that sell hats and souvenirs. If you are visiting the state of Michoacán or just a nature lover, I highly recommend that you spend a few hours here. The beautiful old trees and the amazing color of the water make for impressive photos.

Volcano
Nature & Parks
Volcano Paricutin, known for its cinder-cone shape and breathtaking views, attracts outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking. Despite being less than 80 years old, the volcano offers a unique trekking experience up scree slopes to reach its summit. The surrounding lava fields offer a glimpse of the destructive power of nature while giving visitors an unforgettable view from the top.
Awesome spot to check off the bucket list! You have to take some hiking shoes. Invest in some if you don't have any. The rocks are very sharp and you need to be careful. The hike is pretty intense and steep for the average person. I'm not used to that type of climb but was beautiful and well worth it. The views are amazing. It has some spots where you can see some steam coming out of the rocks.
Hector E — Google review
Everyone should visit this volcano once in their life. It is a magical experience, and although it is a steep climb, persistence will help you make it to the top. Getting down is super fun!
Lisa C — Google review
I highly recommend exercising prior to the trip so you can hike up through the lava rocks and up to the crater. Be sure to bring some water and snacks as the hike can be hours long but worth while during the entire journey. Also have solid comfortable shoes and be sure to tighten them on the way up. On the way down from the volcano be prepared to get lava sand inside your shoes and socks. This is an all day trip and the sun can be tough so have some type of head gear. After the volcano y recommend horseriding to the old town (San Juan). The entire tour can be arranged by the tour guides at the entrance to the town of Angahuan. The tour may sound expensive but as my tour guide Benito stated, the money goes to help 4 families in town. Benito, who's 60 but in amazing shape did not struggle during the hike, yet my 32 year old body struggled just to make it to the base of the volcano. Once at the crater, the scenery was mesmerizing and at my next trip I plan to spend the night up there.

We started at 7:30 in the morning and finished ad 4:30 incl pictures, lunchbreak etc. Gave just three stars because the friendly guy who sells the entry tickets cheated us.

We came in early on Christmas day, before the crowds. Best decision we ever made. Authentic ponchos, beautiful tapestries, placemats, and copper and silver ware from around the country. Vendors are polite and not pushy. Additionally, there is a miniatures store that is by far the gem of the patios. They don’t allow photos, and I didn’t realize it until I already took the video.

Had a great time out at the island! Wish we have done this a couple of times while we visited. There's two sides, a beach that is rocky that has snorkeling and then a swimming beach. We had fun on both sides. There's plenty of shade, chairs, loungers, cold drinks, and food. We took a water taxi out to the island for $100 pesos per person. Some of the menus weren't in English so I recommend downloading Google translate offline before going. 10/10 OH! And we saw whales!
Courtney K — Google review
Love to go there every time we visit Ixtapa, beautiful place and great food. The snorkelling is also great, the only thing I can complain about is that the boats delivering food to the restaurants are in front of each one of them, making the swimming a bit dangerous and it also smells a lot like fuel. Maybe this could be improved arranging the deliveries at an earlier time of the day before the guests arrive. Other than that, it is a great day to spend the day.

We had a wonderful day snorkeling at playa Varadero in Isla Ixtapa. On February 13, 2023, the weather was good and sunny. The ocean was calm. The snorkeling place where there are some corals is only 30 feet(10 meters) in front of Restaurante Paraiso Escondido. We parked ourselves at the restaurant based on the good Google reviews. We didn’t have to pay to rent the umbrella and chairs as in some restaurants in Playa Las Gatas. We only need to pay for the food and drinks. Their prices are competitive and reasonable. We ordered a grilled (pan fried in Mexico) fish filet and Corona beer. The total price was 245 pesos. We paid 200 pesos for a complete set of snorkeling equipment. When we were ready to pay the bill, I ran into the owner John. He was very personable and friendly. He even offered me a free drink! We snorkeled both at Playa Las Gatas and Playa Varadero. We saw about 15 different types of fishes in Playa Varadero versus several in Playa Las Gatas and the bottom was sand versus stones. There is a coral beach for snorkeling in Isla Ixtapa but there are many sharp corals and the incoming waves pushing my wife against the corals. One can easily cut by the corals. So, we gave up snorkeling at the coral beach. On a separate note, we took the collectivo to Playa Linda from Zihuatanejo center (near the Mercado Municipal) for 20 pesos and took the boat to Isla Ixtapa for 80 pesos round trip.

Delfiniti of Mexico, located in the coastal town of Ixtapa, is a vibrant family waterpark where visitors can enjoy swimming with dolphins. Situated by the Pacific Ocean, this interactive marine park offers an unforgettable experience for all ages. Visitors traveling with their families will find Delfiniti to be a must-visit destination in Ixtapa. The facility provides opportunities for people to interact with dolphins and create lasting memories.
One of the best experiences of organized travel that my wife and I had. Totally 5 star. Mauricio a senior trainer engaged us in the most amazing encounters with dolphins I could ever imagine. Totally a first class place and venue. And like all the people from this region, nice, friendly and accommodating. Thank you Mauricio and all the staff of Definiti.

Xavier was a fantastic guide. My kids had a blast swimming with the dolphins.

While I am aware that the issue of cetaceans in captivity is an important and contentious one, it is not one that I have given sufficient attention to offer much insight on. The dolphins my eight-year-old son and I interacted with certainly seemed healthy and happy enough, and the aquarium seemed more than large enough for the number of dolphins living in it (but I am not a marine biologist, and so have little more than my impressions to base this on). Moreover, everyone I observed (including my fellow visitors) treated the dolphins with kindness and respect. My son and I signed up for the full interaction, which I recommend if you can afford it. We made our reservations the day before with Jesús Rodríguez, who kindly obtained us a substantial discount. The experience itself is largely indescribable. Luz, the dolphin we interacted with, not only seemed healthy and happy as I mentioned, but also friendly and patient with her visitors. The interaction was informative as well as exciting, and so my son and I also learned a bit about dolphin behavior and physiology. As some other visitors have mentioned, photographs are strictly prohibited within the facilities. Notably, this restriction is not limited to interactions with the dolphins. While profitability may indeed be a factor here, I also suspect it reduces the likelihood of a visitor doing something stupid in an unsupervised interaction with one of the animals. The photographs provided by the professional photographers are indeed expensive--in our case, they cost almost as much as the visit itself. That said, the people responsible for the pictures are clearly professional photographers, such that the photographs are of much higher quality than anything I would have snapped with the camera on phone, or even with one of their cameras.

Terrible experience. The dolphins are under terrible conditions, you can see that they are hurt. If you care about an animals, please DONT GO. Don’t be part of this business 😔

Very nice experience if you bring your family! My child was quite happy. Some comments below talk about cleanliness of water, but that's quite untrue. Water is fine. Price to swim with dolphins is $800 MXN (25 min), but that's fine if you think of money is being used to feed them 👌🏼 Negative point is that prices are not posted, so you must be up to negotiate with local people. You can get pro pictures starting from $150 MXN each

Absolutely disgusting that there are still places that allow this. Poor dolphins are stuck in a tiny pool and showing signs of depression. So sad.

Very very heartbreaking. Dolphins belong in the wild, not a tank or other enclosure. These mammals have perfectly evolved to thrive in the ocean, where they deserve to live freely. Captivity simply cannot provide an adequate environment for these wild species. Do not support places like this.

Was a wonderful time worth every dollar spent. I know I see people post about how much it is to do this but you dont get to do this every day. The staff are wonderful and the water is nice as well.
