Definitely worth doing. The staff were friendly and helpful and explained everything very well. I would recommend it to everyone. If you only want to do one thing when you go the the Dominican Republic, this should be it.

This was an absolutely fantastic day. We were well looked after, the hosts and guides were excellent, the dolphin swim itself was superb, and the trip was a great value for money.

Absolutely wonderful, swimming with dolphins was really well organized and an awesome experience. There is so much else to do that you don't get bored waiting for your swim. The sea lion show is superb. In the end, we didn't have time to go to dolphin beach.

The dolphin swim package was definitely worth it.

The dolphin swim was rather expensive. It would have been good to have been advised that members of the public can enter the dolphin swim area and take photographs. Had we been made aware of that, we would have arranged for someone to take our photos and video instead of paying the high costs they charge to provide you with their photos...which are not that good. Many of them had dark shadows and were not of great quality. Also, the one photo I wanted was not taken by their staff. The video alone was $45 US plus a minimum of $12 per photo, so the total costs are very high. That would be my only complaint about this trip.

It's good, but could be better. We were part of a group of 12 people and watching some of the other programs throughout the day, that is a typical number of people. There are two dolphins in each program. Each person takes turns to hug, kiss and dance with a dolphin then you get a dorsal fin tow at the end. Because you are in such large groups each person probably only gets about 3 minutes interacting with them. The program is more about creating a series of posed photos, which cost a minimum of $12 each, rather than dolphin interaction. Overall, Ocean World is worth doing, especially if you are also doing one of the other programs we also did shark and stingray encounter, which was great but there are better dolphin interaction programs elsewhere.

Tour was only a half day but we had to wait the full day to be picked up to go back to our hotel. A waste of a half day. Not satisfactory. Wait was to push us into viewing your resort with the intention to buy.
