Swimming with dolphins: even at the entrance, they try to put on shoes from 10 to 50 dollars on top. To sell a show that you didn't initially need, you came for a swim. Okay, we left 10 on top, just to get behind. Next, swimming with dolphins - they recruit as many people as possible and load them into a dirty puddle with garbage and jellyfish. The girl was kicked so hard by a jellyfish that she refused to swim at all. Further whiplash - any step you take is for a fee. You can't take pictures of your own child - only with their camera for a fee. It's some kind of madhouse.

We visited the dolphinarium in 2021 and had very mixed impressions (even after 4 years). On the plus side, dolphins are always positive emotions and they are incomparable! Everything else from the "sediment remains" category: the show is average (for example, if you compare it with the show at the dolphinarium in Anapa (the highest class!!), then the dolphinarium in Varadero is just a "commercial break", very mediocre tricks and numbers). Keeping animals causes tears - the water is muddy, dirty (and smelly), and the pools are too small for such active animals. There are no amenities: the stands are concrete steps, uncovered, and there are non-drying puddles on the slippery floor along the edge of the pool. It's also depressing that there's just a widespread desire to get hot on tourists (I don't think it's just Russians): there is one price in pesos at the entrance, 3 times more in dollars, we paid for the show and for swimming with dolphins, after the show we went to separate pools for individual bathing, but they strictly forbade filming me on our camera, only a dolphinarium photographer can take pictures for 55 bucks (I was very upset because my my husband is a good photographer, and FOR WHAT?), I was even ready to give up swimming, but the dream of talking to dolphins outweighed it. These 15 minutes of communication with dolphins made me forget about dirty water and extortion of money. The photos, as expected, were very mediocre (+ half of the photos are not even mine, but of tourists with whom I was in a group). But I will never go to this dolphinarium a second time, and I also do not advise those who have something to compare (who have been to any other dolphinarium).

A good location, a spectacular performance, after which you can go to the platform and take pictures with dolphins (for a fee). In addition, swimming with dolphins is an unforgettable experience.

We traveled with a family of 2 adults and 2 children. We bought a ticket for a show and swimming with dolphins. The show lasted about 30 minutes, and the kids loved it. The conditions of detention leave much to be desired. The water is a terrible color, there are 7 dolphins in one pen! After looking at their content, I regretted that we were sponsoring this entertainment. After the show, they took me swimming. There are 2 dolphins and 14 people swimming in one enclosure!!! It was terrible. An aunt stands on the platform and shouts in English where to swim, what to do. If you don't understand, she gets nervous, hurries. As a result, my two children were just scared by these screams, they were not given the opportunity to calm them down. We just got out of the water. As a result, we gave away 280 dollars, but we did not manage to swim. Since we had to go out with the children. A group of 6 people was swimming in the nearby pool. I approached the man who distributes the groups. I asked why you and the children sent me to a group with a lot of people, why there are 6 in one group and 14 in the other. He said it was okay with a grin. It seemed to me that the attitude was not friendly towards Russians. They treated the Spaniards and the locals well, but they treated us all the time with a grin and the words rus rus. They ask for tips on the way out. Photo and video 55 USD. Personally, in my opinion, I regretted that we went to this place. Dolphin conditions are terrible! Dolphins have scratches on their bodies, and their noses are all dirty. Pity these beautiful mammals

Surprisingly good. Dolphins are not in a cage. But like everything in Cuba, money is being pulled all around. To swim with a dolphin, for a child, they charge an adult for admission anyway. Despite the fact that there is no show. 12.01.26 Stupidity, greed and arrogance are the three horses of Cuban business. Swimming with a dolphin cannot be photographed on your own. Only their photographer and no one talks about it in advance. And in the photo, the wires on the way to the swim

A good dolphinarium, entrance for local pennies (they do not go there), for guests from other countries 20-25 $. The duration of the performance is 35-45 minutes

The cost is $ 80 (show + bathing) or $ 50 only for the show. We were there before lunch: a show at 11.00, then a swim at 11.30, after lunch like a 15.30 show (but this is not accurate). Dolphins are great fellows! It's interesting to watch the show, but swimming with them, riding them is just super, you don't think about the quality of the water at this moment. Photos + videos are dumped on the phone for $ 55, most are slag, but there are also funny and funny photos, the video for sending to a family group is quite decent. The coach's commands are quite understandable in Russian. The highlight of swimming is when two dolphins push by the feet and toss over the water, cool!

Excellent dolphinarium, both a show and an opportunity to swim with dolphins. Photos are expensive, it's better to team up with someone and say that one family will be 2 times cheaper)

We made a surprise for the child. Individual swimming with dolphins. There are a lot of impressions. Dolphins live in favorable conditions, although they write on the Internet that they are almost offended ... no, this is not true. It's all good. There are several families living there

The worst dolphin show of my life. After paying $ 65 for a family of 4 people, we were devoured by mosquitoes (although the show time was at 15.30), and we had to sit on some concrete steps. At the beginning of the "show", pieces of raw mackerel were brought and offered to feed the dolphins with this fish, while they have neither water nor napkins. Those who fed washed their hands in a puddle. There were no dolphins in the water at all, because the water is muddy and dirty. And someone dared to swim in this swamp! It all lasted 10-15 minutes, we didn't even realize right away that the "show" was over. We and the children are shocked.

There is nothing to compare it with. This is the first time I've seen dolphins. There are a lot of dolphins swimming, I counted 7 pieces, maybe there are more in other fenced backwaters. There is a mother with a dolphin. Dolphins swim up close, they like to pose for the camera. A small spectacular show for 30 minutes, a lot of people gather on the weekend. The whole performance is sitting on benches that look like big steps and are stained with seagulls. It is better not to occupy the first couple of rows if the sun is shining brightly. Seagulls are also part of the performance, flying in circles, cackling loudly, sometimes receiving a reward in the form of a fish or something that the dolphins did not have time to pick up. The water is very dirty, I do not advise swimming in it, it's a pity for dolphins.

Nice dolphinarium. The show program lasts about 30 minutes, before that they persistently offer to swim with dolphins or take a photo. In 2025, an adult ticket cost $20 to enter, and there is a surcharge for bathing and taking photos. Dolphins are terrible beggars, but none of them were deprived of fish, even those who did not want to perform tricks, but only "demanded"))

The show is great. but if the cashier sees a dollar, get ready that the ticket will not sell for pesos, the price will be $ 20 (about 3 times more than in pesos)per person, a photo with dolphins for a peso of 1 dollar, you will be asked for $ 5

For $80, you can swim with dolphins, but the only cool thing is that they lift you above the water. The rest is nonsense. The rest is better in an open dolphinarium in the ocean. Then they also ask for $ 55 for a photo, which is a rip-off, the photos themselves are not really worth it The show is cool

It is difficult for Russian speakers here, there is a cafe on the territory, there is a schedule with this more carefully so as not to wait for hours for a performance, my daughter swam with dolphins liked it, filming is prohibited on a personal phone, but you can be careful. The organization is weak in the dolphinarium itself. Dolphins are kind, coaches are not very. Dollars, euros and local currency are accepted for payment.

The dolphins and the program are incomparable. But the fact that they do not allow us to take photos ourselves, but they themselves take pictures of visitors without permission, in the end offering to buy photos and videos - disappointed us. I would have bought their photos if they were playing fair. It left a disgusting feeling from this approach.

Dolphins get 5 stars. The rest is 3. Swimming: 15 minutes group of 6 people. It's cool, but it's better on Cayo Boanco and cheaper (here $ 80 / person). They throw you up, kiss you, they're very cool, but not enough)) I liked the show too, the delbfinchiki did well. Disappointed with the photos from swimming, they want $ 50 now all your terrible photos (everything is highlighted, they shoot on something old, the frames are random). We had 40 of the photos, 2 were adequate - they asked for $ 30 (for 2, are you serious??🫠). We wanted to pay them, but we didn't agree to shoot on an iPhone. And in vain, we could have earned, since we certainly did not buy this horror.

The dolphinarium itself is so-so, I recommend swimming with dolphins. This is super 👍 The children are delighted, the water is of course cloudy, but the dolphins are good fellows and kiss and hug and throw out of the water and make circles on the water by the fins. In general, the emotions are unforgettable and not expensive compared to other countries.

Dolphins are cool, everything else is bad! Swimming with dolphins is super, it's worth it, and even more, BUT, firstly, the water is dirty (I hope the fin will not grow), secondly, photography is a clean divorce, immediately after bathing we went to the place where we need to buy, were with a girl, they said $ 55 per person, it's a lot for 2-3 good photos, and a bunch of photos and one video with strangers. The next day they came up to talk again, they had already outplayed and said 55% of everything, which is also expensive of course. I can buy for $ 100 and for $ 200 and for $ 500, but that's not the question, the question is that it's not beautiful and not right!

A good dolphinarium. Lots of dolphins. If you take a four-person swim, you get a discount. Several swimming pools, a maximum of 6 people in the pool. We swam for about an hour, dolphins do different tricks. You can't take pictures, but you can buy photos and videos for $55. Also after watching the show. It is best to get from the hotel by taxi or bus.

Excellent dolphinarium, milakh dolphins. It is better to go to the show through the ticket office, and not through the hotel guides. The savings are super-tangible. After hours, you can chat with dolphins for a little tea, if you politely arrange with the staff at the entrance. When it gets dark, mosquitoes are very hungry, smear and splash.

Cubans have completely lost their nerve They forbid taking pictures on their cameras, they constantly shout that they will call the police The video they shoot is below the lower limit, and they ask 55 euros for it. Dolphins live in the mud! The water is dirty There is absolutely nothing to do there
