Short Description

Discover the magic of Punta Cana with a 5-hour Dolphin Discovery Park tour: swim, hug, or interact with dolphins safely, explore a ray & shark tank, and enjoy hotel pickup and drop-off included.

Description

? Overview

Spend an unforgettable half-day at Dolphin Discovery Park in Punta Cana. This experience combines a safe, educational, and fun interaction with dolphins and marine life experts at a dedicated water park.


✨ Highlights

  • Get up close and personal with dolphins in a controlled, safe environment.

  • Choose from three different dolphin-interaction programs, including swimming, hand-shaking, hugging, and even foot-push.

  • Learn about dolphin anatomy from marine mammal specialists.

  • Visit the ray and shark tank as part of the experience.

  • Hotel pickup and drop-off make the trip convenient.


? 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.
