Ok, so this was the one thing I wanted to do on my honeymoon if possible and there it was! Yes, it is pricey and yes some people will not be happy with the time, although when we were done it seemed like we were there much longer then we were. The animals were nice. We even swam with a... more

I don't understand the people who said bad things about the experience. Everything about it was excellent -- and as a New Yorker, I have high standards and know when I'm getting screwed. My wife and I had a great time, we even brought along our 11 month old baby. The staff were extremely courteous and helpful and they had... more

This is such an incredible experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime! Wow! We arrived after picking several other guests up from their hotels. It wasn't too long of a drive. It was an open-air vehicle that really needed some updating. After checking in and signing papers, they have you watch a video on how to... more

If you love dolphins like I do and you went to Punta Cana instead of Puerto Plata then you should go here. First off do not book online as they are more expensive and a hassle to correct things if something goes wrong. I made the error of booking online to see the sea lions, snokel with sting rays and... more

We enjoyed the ride to the site, but have to admit driving through the island was a bit scarey. It's an open air vehicle, you're not buckled in and the roads are terrible so you bounce around a lot on painted metal seats. It was fun if you tried not to think too what might happen if there was an... more

Hello, I went there two weeks ago...I paid 110$ and stood there in the sea with Dolphins about 30 minutes. I had drinks after the session and it was really great....unfortunately, a storm destroyed totally the parc where dolphins were kept last week, meaning that this won't be feasible for at least 2 weeks....forget about all bad things said.... more

The other day I just randomly searched Dolphin Island and read all of the bad reviews. Maybe it's changed since I was there but I thought I would write a positive review. I went to Dolphin Island in January 2006. It was my first all inclusive vacation and I was quite excited to swim with dolphins. We paid $85 a... more
