Creator's Key Takeaways

It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of up close and personal time with these sweet animals.

The water over here was incredibly clear and very beautiful.

One thing we were really not expecting was the replica Mayan ruins.

One of our frustrations we kind of had come up over and over again with this trip was they always seemed to have only one of the gang ways open.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Book the manatee excursion directly with Dolphin Discovery to save money compared to cruise line prices.
✓Bring cash to tip the taxi driver (they gave $20 for a $16 fare).
✓Arrive 20 minutes early for the sea lion show as it gets crowded quickly.
✓Be careful ordering at Indulge Food Hall; dishes are larger than tapas-sized.
✓You cannot bring your own cameras/phones into the manatee pool; photos must be purchased.

🆕New to Cruising? This Creator Addresses:

Not knowing what the park offers — Go in blind like we did; there is plenty to discover beyond just the manatees.
Cost of photos — Expect to pay $150 for the package including all photos and taxi return.

Join us on part 5 of our trip on the Norwegian Prima as we go to Cozumel. We are back in Cozumel and this time we decide to check out Chankanaab Adventure Park and swim with the Manatees. After the manatees we tour around the resort, do some snorkeling and just enjoy a day at the beach. Music is provided through license with MonsterCat.
