Delfinario de Cienfuegos (4 to 5 hours)

We start our tour picking you and your party up at the cruise terminal or at your Casa Particular in our high quality vehicle. On our ~25 minutes drive to Delfinario de Cienfuegos we will provide you with a quick introduction of Cienfuegos. At the Dolphinarium we will watch the very interactive show (participate if you want). It is at 10 AM and 2 PM daily except Wednesday. Optionally you can participate in the swimming with the Dolphins interaction. We will need to reserve ahead for a dolphin swim time slot so there may be some shifts in tour time necessary to ensure you have a full experience at the Dolphinarium. With the Dolphin swim experience you will be kissed, carried and lifted in the air by the dolphins. Photos are taken which you can optionally purchased. Depending on timing can stop by the Playa Luna area then to Hotel Pasacaballo in Rancho Luna landing to see the mouth of the Cienfuegos bay just across from the Jagua Castle.

Lunch / snack / beverage break (30 to 90 minutes)

Lunch is available at the Dolphinarium snack bar. Optionally lunch at a local private restaurant can be arranged.
