Dolphin Swim in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic Description

As dolphin caretakers, we have a unique ability to offer our guests not only fascinating educational introductions, but also the rare opportunity for intimate contact with the dolphins. Our hope is that every guest who meets & falls in love with a dolphin will leave our park committed to conserve & protect these very special creatures.

All participants in the Dolphin Swim must wear life jackets provided to float freely on the surface, thereby allowing the dolphins to come much closer. A maximum of ten participants & two dolphins usually take part in each session. The in-water time is about 30 minutes during which you will spend some very special moments with the dolphins...sharing a kiss, hugging, dancing, feeding, petting, & swimming. A human hurdle & a spectacular dorsal fin tow will finish off the experience & leave you with memories to cherish for a lifetime.

Note: In order to vary the programs for the animals, the trainers do not use the same behaviors in each session, but instead use a different combination each time.

REVIEW:
"My whole family was so happy and it was not only fun, it was also very educational because before the interaction you participate in an educational introduction presented by expert dolphin trainers. They taught us fascinating facts about the dolphins and gave us important safety instructions for our dolphin interaction - a must for a truly pleasurable experience." - Anonymous customer
