Me and paterner chose the package to swim with the sharks and sting rays, something my partner has also wanted to do! I must admit I was a bit nervous at the thought of it but decided to hang up my fear and go for it. We definately were not dissapointed, I thought the trip was a reasonable price for... More

I have to say I was skeptical of this excursion, thinking it would be a waste of money. My sister and I chose the Explorer package and we absolutely loved the experience. The property was very clean, the employess were professional and I heard many speak several languages and the side shows were a nice addition. I loved loved loved... More

My boyfriend and I did this on our recent trip to Punta Cana and loved it! He was a bit skeptical, but had a really great time. We did the the Excellence package, which was more expensive, but well worth the extra. The only downside is that you can't take your own camera and their photos are $10/ea. More

Awesome experience! Everyone was very knowledgable about everything. The only thing I didn't like is I couldn't take my waterproof camera in with me. I understand the reason behind it, but I had swam with dolphins before with a different company and I got to take my camera with me. But I still wouldn't trade it for anything. More

My mom and I wanted to see the dolphins as well as some other animals and this was the perfect place. Saw parrots, tigers, sealions, sharks and of course dolphins! Kicking myself for not swimming with the dolphins because that looked amazing. We still got to watch. The sealion show was super cute. Great for a little get away for... More

Best excursion I have ever done. Only did the Funtastic since it is expensive no matter what but I wish I paid the extra to do more, went by too fast but was still unbelievable! Staff is so professional (they won't even accept tips). Grounds have so much to do - tigers, parrots, touch pool and sea lions! Lots of... More

We went for the excellence tour which gave us about 40 mins in a group of 8 with two dolphins. I wasn't really excited about going but can honestly say after doing it that it was an excellent experience. The only down side to the whole thing is the price they try to extort for the photos. They are already... More
