    Day Pass

    They welcomed us at the door. Walked us through the facility. Let us know what was included and what was an extra cost. They took us to the dive shop to pay our marina fee. While there one of the waiters introduced himself and when we finally found our friends and picked a seat he was available to get our drinks. There was a little confusion a couple of times, first, our friends had paid for the dolphin experience and their “included drinks and food” were in a different area from the beach club because it’s a separate business on the same property. Second, when a different waiter came to help us we figured out he’s from a different bar/snack bar company from the beach club. So it seems there are different companies within the beach club. Now we know for next time! Family friendly. Not a party vibe! The water was amazing, fish everywhere, and you can use the snorkel equipment without a guide at anytime during your stay with the marina fee charge..

    Photos too expensive

    Very nice place, we are satisfied with the activities and food and service! HOWEVER ! We really wanted a picture of our children with dolphins, The pictures after you swim with the dolphins is crazy expensive! For 1 DIGITAL picture = 40$US For a family of 4= 220$ US The entrance to the place for the full package for 200$ for the whole family :P so how is it logical that the pictures are as expensive as the entrance to an entire parc !! Makes Zero sense !! Almost No one bought pictures I hope the place reads the peoples complains and readjusts its pricing to something reasonable !

    0/10 DO NOT BUY

    DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! we got NOTHING that we paid for. it says you get a welcome drink as well as snorkeling gear to go out into the water off the beach with. well, we get there and they refuse us access saying we have to pay the marine park fee on top of what we’ve already paid for. we told them we weren’t going into the marine park just the beach side to be on the beach and in the water with the snorkeling gear we purchased and with our admission we purchased because we are on a cruise and have little time. they kept fighting us and fighting us saying we had to pay more for a marine park we WERENT GOING TO. mind you my grandmother had been just a couple months before and they didn’t make her pay for the marine park. once we were finally able to get in after my grandmother embarrassingly threw a fit. they still wouldn’t give us the snorkel gear THAT SAYS ON OUR PURCHASE ITS INCLUDED. so my husband ended up just paying for it anyway as well as paying for overpriced nachos. they come back at the end of our trip with the bill and tells us our US Dollar total vs what it is in their currency which is what he’s charging and he overcharged us. so all in all it was a crap show just to spend a few good hours with our two year old on the beach.

    Family day trip from cruise port (two adults and children ages 12 & 16)

    Overall an easy to reach location. We cruised into the port and took a cab to Chankanaab. We did the snorkel experience. When booking with Viator, it was simple, seamless, and less than half the price for the same excursion with the cruise line. Once the taxi dropped us off we headed to the entrance gate where they “radioed” our “guide” who would take us to the area for snorkeling. It’s accessible by walking (maybe there is a handicap accessible way I’m unsure). I’d say less than 10 minute walk where you end up at some booths to retrieve the snorkel equipment, or you can use your own. Also provide you a locker but we felt safe with our items in our bags. I’m not a big snorkeler but it should be known that the area they have you get in to snorkel is very deep. There is not many places to “rest” once in the water and it’s tiring when you’re in the water. However, the water and wildlife was phenomenal. For shallow wading/swimming there is two other smaller “beach” areas that you can just walk in and it’s only about 4 feet deep. We did not do any of the animal encounters/shows. Plenty of vendors of that’s what you are wanting. The wait staff that walked around getting drink orders was very ambitious. Wanted to help or explain something every other moment when we really wanted to get settled first. My family just ordered drinks and my son asked about what a menu item was. Next thing you know we are getting drinks and whatever that food item was. If I didn’t say anything we would have been coerced into paying for a item we did not order. Food was expensive, and we did not eat so I do not have a review for that. Easy to get a taxi to return to the port when we wanted. Overall we would return, and use Viator.

    A good place to visit. There is something for everyone.

    Very nice experience. I'm a certified diver so I have some bias. We snorkeled. We had our own equipment but booked via a private company. They were efficient and courteous. It is a very nice park. While it is a National Park, there are a myriad of vendors in the park so trying to navigate the website is challenging. Just pick your price point and what you want to do and book it. We were met at the gate and escorted to the appropriate business that we booked with. Very efficient. I would do it again.

    Chankanaab Park Admission Ticket + Seea lion show: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cozumel.

    How much does Chankanaab Park Admission Ticket + Seea lion show cost?

    +

    Prices start at $29 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cozumel usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chankanaab Park Admission Ticket + Seea lion show take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cozumel is not rushed.

    Is Chankanaab Park Admission Ticket + Seea lion show worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 67 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cozumel, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chankanaab Park Admission Ticket + Seea lion show?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Chankanaab Park Admission Ticket + Seea lion show suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chankanaab Park Admission Ticket + Seea lion show?

    +

    Around 23 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cozumel can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cozumel and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chankanaab Park Admission Ticket + Seea lion show start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cozumel within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cozumel?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cozumel experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Jade Caverns and Mayan Village Cozumel ATV TOUR, Buggy, Beach & Snorkel Blast, ATV 4×4+Cenote+Snorkeling+Beach Club+ Lunch+Sabores de Cozumel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cozumel?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cozumel?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
