When I booked a vacation to Puerto Plata, one of the reasons was to participate in the Dolphin Swim. It is a 30 minute program at Ocean World and costs about $ 165,00 US which included general admission into the park. Then I read about the Trainer for a Day program. For $ 250.00 for a full 8 hour day,... more

Started the day at 9, ended at 12. Although the bus driver drops you off at 9:00 and picks you up to go to the hotel at 4:15, me and my girlfriend ended the day sooner than expected. I had a sea lion encounter at 9 and a dolphin encounter at 11. Each is about 1/2 hour long so you... more

I really enjoyed myself, both me and my boyfriend done everything the sealion encounter, swimming with the sharks and stingrays as well as the main highlight of my day swimming with the dolphins. I feel as though we got a great deal for the money we paid which was cheap we booked with our rep as we have had some... more

My husband, 2 daughters (aged 11months and 3 and a half years) and I went to Ocean World on 9 June 2008. The shuttle collected us from our hotel in Cabereta at 8:10am We were very excited as my older daughter was really looking forward to seeing the dolphins. We decided not to do any swims or experiences as I... more

A quick drive through Puerto Plata brought us to the grounds. Our tour guide Jorge was very helpful and funny. Entrance into park is smooth and we didn't have any... more

We did not want to pay extra to do any of the "encounters" or "experineces". We were content just watching all... more

Transport to and from hotel. They don't tell you but there are buses coming back from the park at starting at 2:30 and running every hour until 5:30. Took in the dolphing show, the shark show, the sea lion show, the beach, the snorkeling in the tank with the fish, the bird sanctuary, the tigers, and the stingrays. Very eventful... more

Spent a day here in April. It was a great experience. The admission price includes the pick up and drop of from the hotels and our guide on this Cola was exellent and funny. The day itself was expensive but definatlely worth it. We did the dolphin swim and the sea lion encounter. To do the dorsal fin pull by... more

We just got back from Puerto Plata and visited Ocean World. It was very clean and the animals appear to be well cared for. It is a small place compared to such places like Sea World. Also, there are only a few displays around which you can walk. The main emphasis in the park is for interactive experiences and shows.... more
