Aguada Island Dolphin Watching

In this activity from Campeche, we'll enjoy an unforgettable boat ride to see dolphins near Aguada Island, a paradise on the west coast of the Yucatan.

Aguada Island Dolphin Watching

At 9 am, we'll pick you up at the Ocean View Hotel in Campeche. From there, we'll travel by road to the fishermen's pier next to the boardwalk of the Magic Town of Aguada Island.

Once we arrive at the pier, we'll embark on a boat ride along the coast of Aguada Island, where we'll observe bottlenose dolphins. These cetaceans can swim up to 6 knots (6.9 mph or 11 kph).

Next, we'll navigate through the interior of the Términos Lagoon. We will stop at Isla de los Pájaros (Bird Island), where you'll have 2 hours to swim and enjoy a picnic.

While at Bird Island, you can admire the diverse bird species that inhabit the area. We will help identify them by their plumage.

Finally, we'll return by boat to the pier of Aguada Island. After disembarking, we will return to San Francisco de Campeche, with arrival back at the starting point scheduled for 5 pm.

Cetacean Sightings

The coast of Aguada Island and Ciudad del Carmen is one of the best locations on the Yucatan coast to see dolphins and other cetaceans. However, animals are unpredictable. The number of dolphins sighted may vary based on weather and the reproductive seasons of the species.
