I absolutely loved the dolphin swim and the facility. Unfortunately, my credit card information was stolen by an employee in the gift shop at Ocean World and made charges the next day.

Well worth the money to swim with the dolphins. The day was a little long, but great that they provided lockers so we didn't have to carry stuff around all day. The food was good and so was the animal entertainment. No problems with booking or pickup. We would do it again when we go back.

A true once in a life time opportunity. The tour operator was prompt on pick up, friendly and efficient. The only problem was getting a phone that did not cost way too much money to confirm. It should be able to be done 1 week before as it cost me over 10 USD to make the call.

I am 27 years old and me and my girlfriend went to Ocean World and did the Dolphin Swim and Sea Lion encounter. This was awesome, it does cost a little but I would say its worth it. Also plan on spending more on photos/dvds if you want them. You can get pictures and they are on avg $12 or have them put on a photo cd for $9 picture. Also the dvd is $45 I think. We spent $100 on photos and DVD but it was worth it. Ocean World is smaller than SeaWorld in the US but this is still very fun and at Ocean World you are able to get very very close to all of the shows and action. It was also not crowded which was nice and there is not a lot of walking around, everything is close together, we spent the entire day there and were not bored. I would recommend this and I would go again. Also EVERY employee we dealt with was nice-during the dolphin swim the trainers were very interactive with us and also funny. The shows were good too. Also it rained the day we originally booked but we called them that morning and they moved it to the next day with NO problem.

This is definitely a must do if you ever travel to Puerto Plata. Also, definitely book through Viator because they offer you significantly reduced prices on more combo packages.

Booking with Viator was fast and easy. Ocean World was really a blast. The shows were great with lots of chances for great pictures. The dolphin swim lasted for half an hour, and consisted of dancing, kissing, feeding, and petting the dolphins. The dorsal fin pull was fun and the photo taken while the dolphins were jumping over me and my girlfriend was amazing. I highly recommend this.
