Rating Swimming with Dolphins in Holguin
6 km west of Guardalavaca is the Acuario Cayo Naranjo, often offered as a tour from the hotels. This is a dolphin, seal and walrus show, set out in the shallows of the bay. The price ranges in accordance to what you buy - shows, swimming with the dolphins, boat rides, or just a walk around the aquariums.
Swimming with the dolphins is extrraordinarily exciting, and while I was concerned about possible abuse of the animals, you will see that, since they are able to jump 40 feet in the air, and since their fence is only 8 feet, they are free to leave. They stay, of course, because they are well fed, and in fact are loyal, like your own dog.Tours from the hotels, which are more expensive, will include a meal at the very good restuarant there.

dolphin excursion
We went on the catamaran excursion called the blue adventure, it is for snorkelling. Friends went on the catarmaran and dolphin excursion, our kids had already done dolphins in mexico and would rather snorkel so we chose this, $70 and $120 difference. We also did the jeep safari ride, no elephants or zebras but you get to see the real cuban area while riding in jeeps, that you get to drive, our teenagers thought this to be great. First time riding a stick. You see a cuban coconut farm, ride horses see where christopher columbus landed and see some culture, all while having a great time. Our guide, Hulio was hillarious, the group the day before had a snake in there jeep and thats all we heard, so we asked to have the jeep with out the snake when we went, he said they put the snake in the jeep to add flavour to the day, we said well it worked! We also went into Guadalavaca, and visited the markets, you can ride in for 5 peso a person, there and back, or 12 peso for a cab but thats both ways. Entertainment at night was amazing, get involved and have fun. Never in two weeks had a repeated nite.
Holguin Swimming with Dolphins
It was a day long tour that took you to a dolphin swim site that I would say was much better than Dolphin Island in Punta Cana. You got more time with the dolphins, and you were able to interact with them more, and the dolphins themselves seemed very friendly. If you tip an employee there, they will take pics with your camera, and they did a great job. At the end of your swim, they will allow you to take a shot with one of the dolphins on the deck where the trainers are. A truly priceless photo if you love dolphins like I do.
