This is probably one of those things that you have to do in your lifetime. Dolphins are amongst the smarter mammals on Earth.

The dolphin sea-quarium is located on kilometre 11 of Autopista Sur (the highway connecting Matanzas city with Varadero). It belong to the Rumbos Tourism and recreation Group.

There are three daily shows. It is about 1/2 hour long and in addition, offers the opportunity of swimming with these graceful, harmless sea mammals for about 45 mins for about $70.00. If you take a camera with you they will charge you $5 CUC to take a picture of you with the dolphins, otherwise you can buy a picture for $8 CUC (8×10).

A good way to enjoy a day in Varadero is to book one of this Catamaran excursios for any hotel. They take you out cruising along the shores of this lovely beach. It’s a half day excursion with plenty of time to swim with dolphins and do much more. It cost about $90.00
