Dolphin Encounter at Ocean World

Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic

For a fun way for the entire family to enjoy the breathtaking, once in a lifetime experience of an up close and personal dolphin encounter, book Ocean World's Dolphin Encounter Interaction Program! This program is suitable for all ages and offers guests the opportunity to touch, kiss, hug and dance with these beautiful mammals!

This interactive program enables participants to stand comfortably on a platform, approximately three feet below the water, and experience the magic of the dolphin world.

Although not a swim program, the Dolphin Encounter offers an up-close-and-personal opportunity for guests of all ages to meet these incredible mammals in the safety and comfort of waist deep water.

While professional animal trainers supervise, guests and dolphins will share kisses, hugs, and 'dances.' Participants have the chance to touch the dolphin's smooth, rubbery skin and feed their new people-loving friends some fishy treats, all while posing for some once in a lifetime photos!

Admission is included when you book this interaction program.

USD $108.99

I really enjoyed the dolphin encounter. The only downfall was not being able to have my family there to watch this experience with me. I understand the policy of not wanting pictures to be taken so you can purchase ones taken from Ocean World but family members should be able to watch this take place. The rest of Ocean World was great. The tiger exhibit was awesome. The other shows were all very entertaining and informative. The buffet lunch was not good at all. I recommend not eating here, just eat a big breakfast before you leave your resort and then wait to eat supper when you return to your resort. The ride there and back was good, no problems with pick up or drop off. The bus was on time each way the the guide was very friendly and informative and spoke english very well.

Dolphins are well cared for and extremely friendly, funny mammals. My wife and I were very impressed with our encounter.

we had the most amazing time you could have, the souvenier photos and the shop are expensive but it is something you just have to have so be prepared for that. Everything there was fantastic, love birds eating out of your hair and being kissed by a parrot in the bird enclosure!! meeting the dolphins is something we will never forget and well worth the money.

It's expensive but incredible. If you can afford it, do the sea lion encounter too.

Worth doing. It is just a little annoying you can't bring your own camera for photos. They take photos for you, but the quality of the pictures is not that great, and of course they come with a hefty price tag! I also couldn't believe even at Ocean World you get bombarded to go on their "tours", which is code for timeshares.

Was good but Ocean World charged me 10 dollars for transportation when my hotel was not listed. I was not happy about this.
