? Full Description
You’ll be picked up from your hotel and transported to Dolphin Discovery Punta Cana, a specially designed water park dedicated to the care and protection of dolphins. Once there, you’ll choose one of three interaction programs: you can swim with the dolphins, or if you're not comfortable swimming, there's a platform where the dolphins come to you for handshakes, hugs, and even kisses.
During the interaction, marine mammal experts will teach you about the anatomy, behavior, and ecology of dolphins, making it both fun and educational. In more advanced programs, you’ll feel the strength and grace of the dolphins as they glide you across the water using their pectoral fins (“foot-push”) or even swim with two dolphins at once in a “royal swim.”
Later, you’ll also get to explore the tank where rays and sharks live, adding another layer of marine adventure to your day.
