We booked the swim independently directly through www.dolphindiscovery.com. Including the cab ride it was about $20 per person cheaper than booking it through Royal Caribbean. The cab ride to Chankanaab park was $10 each way and the entry fee is $12 per person. There are cabs waiting at the entry of the park to take people back to port. It is a busy park and alot of cruisers go there, so the cabs line up in the parking lot waiting for customers.

I don't remember the name of our swim, but we got to kiss and be kissed by the dolphin, shake hand/flippers, ride his belly and swim with the dolphin (which was actually us treading water waiting for the dolphin to swim by so we could try and pet him). My friend felt it was worth the $100+ (I think that was the cost) we each ended up spending, but I didn't. It was phenomenal but I guess I am a cheapskate.

Also, we discovered too late that we were allowed to bring underwater cameras into the swimming area with us. If you have a friend/family member who is just watching, they are allowed into the swimming area and can take pictures or video from the dock right next to where you are are swimming (rather than just on the beachfront). I highly recommend this because, if you want to purchase a video of your swim it costs $35.00 and we bought two photos for $28.00.

have fun
