Full Description

Delight in a truly immersive marine experience in Punta Cana, ideal for families and animal lovers. Upon entering the Dolphin Explorer Park, you'll receive a warm, guided welcome. During your session, trained marine mammal specialists help you connect with the dolphins — whether you want to swim, play games, or just enjoy a hug and handshake with these gentle creatures.

Swimming is optional: for those who prefer to stay dry, there’s a platform where you can stand and let dolphins approach you for handshakes, kisses, and close-up interactions. You may also choose to pet them.

Beyond just dolphins, the park includes entertaining sea lion and bird shows. Kids (and adults!) can have fun on Pirate Island, a themed play area, while the park’s facilities (showers, changing rooms, restrooms) ensure you stay comfortable throughout your visit. If you like, you can upgrade your dolphin program on site for an even more immersive experience.
