Garrafon Park and Dolphin Royal Swim Cancun Mexico
Hi All,
I know this is way over due but we are finally promoting Garrafon Park on Isle Mujeres. Right next to Cancun Mexico is this quaint and beautiful small Island, only a 20 minute ferry ride away. This island is so cool because Cancun looks like you are in the USA, any city, McDonald Restaurants, Strip Malls, and big hotels. When you cross this channel with one ferry ride, you enter a real Mexican community.
When the Spanish arrived here in the 16th century they named it “Isla Mujeres” meaning “Island of Women” because of the many cult images of the moon goddess here. On the north end is Isla Town and Hidalgo Street, where many great real Mexican shops and restaurants are located. Also located on the north end is a famous beach called Playa del Norte.
Isla Mujeres is located close to one of many coral reefs, and the area is popular for its snorkeling and scuba diving. Isla Mujeres is also home to a population of sea turtles. Because of the recent endangerment of sea turtles in the area, a facility was set up on the southern end of the island for the rehabilitation and breeding of them.
So as you can read, this is a great place to come to. There is an amazing all-inclusive nature park on Isla Mujeres called Garrafon. If you spend a day at Garrafon Park, your day includes a Dolphin Royal Swim Program, Round Trip Ferry Transportation from Cancun to Isla Mujeres, Transportation to Garrafon Park, Snorkel equipment to swim on the coral reef, life jacket, kayaks, hammocks, pool, showers, trepachanga (two lines to cross a body water), marine platforms, Bicycle tour of Isle Mujeres, Zip line & climbing tower, Isla Mujeres shopping tour, Full Breakfast, Buffet lunch, International open bar all day long, Lockers and towels. < Read More>
Zip Line Tour of Garrafon Park
This place was so memorable to me and I hope that you all get a chance to see and experience this little Mexican island jewel. I think you will agree after you visit this place.
Has anyone been there? If you have, please tell me your experience of Isla Mujeres.
God Bless,
John

My boyfriend and I are currently staying on Isla Mujeres. We had heard that Garrafon Park was a must see and everything we heard was absolutely correct! We started the morning off with the Royal Dolphin swim. We were able to pet, hug, and kiss the dolphins. Also we did a dorsal fin ride and a foot push along with with several other tricks that provided good photo opportunities. All I can say is that swimming with the dolphins was unbelievable!! They are such amazing creatures!!!!! Following swimming with the dolphins we had lunch at the included buffet. The food was pretty good. Ten we headed down to the other part of Garrafon Park to zipline and snorkel. For safety reason the reef is roped off, however there is still much to see while snorkeling. Be sure to bring an underwater camera!!! The zipline was so much fun. It was neat to be flying through the air over such a great view. Also included was an open bar which I personally didn’t partake in but it seemed to be quite popular with all the options of a regular bar. Overall my experience here was great. I would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone staying remotely close to Isla Mujeres.
