Program details

Boasting the largest man-made dolphin habitat in the world, Ocean World is a must-see attraction for everyone visiting the Dominican Republic. The Dolphin Encounter is always one of the most popular features because it lets people come into close contact with dolphins: standing in waist-deep water, visitors are invited to touch and play with these gentle mammals. An ideal activity for non-swimmers and families with young kids, the Dolphin Encounter is fun and educational at the same time.

In the Sharks encounter It will be time to meet the sharks. This experience begins with a brief orientation session, and then our expert trainers will accompany participants in the water, while entertaining and educating them about these swift and intelligent creatures. Participants will have sharks on their laps, swim with them and – most importantly of all – live to tell the tale! Or you can choose the Sea Lion Encounter, a fun program designed to let you meet the clown of the sea, the Patagonian sea lion. Meet them up-close in the interaction pool, where guests are provided with an opportunity to touch, feed, pet and play with these wonderful animals.

Participants also have the opportunity to combine the interactive encounter programmes. Whatever you choose, it is guaranteed to be a once in a lifetime thrill. Visitors should bring comfortable clothes and shoes, swimwear, sunscreen and towels.
