Dolphin Explorer - Excellence

Highlights

• ✓Foot-push experience — dolphins propel you across the ocean surface at speed
• ✓Dorsal fin ride with two dolphins simultaneously
• ✓Watch dolphins leap and jump directly over you
• ✓Professional trainer instruction and guidance throughout
• ✓1-hour immersive session in shallow, safe waters

Insider tips

• ★Arrive early to watch trainers prepare the dolphins and learn their individual personalities — it enhances the connection during your session
• ★Wear water shoes or bring grip-sole footwear; the pool deck can be slippery, especially after interactions
• ★Bring a waterproof phone case if you want hands-free photos; trainers are usually too busy managing dolphins to photograph you

Good to know

• •Bring a towel and a change of clothes — you will get thoroughly wet during the foot-push and dorsal rides
• •Minimum age or swimming ability requirements may apply; confirm with your tour operator before booking
• •Meeting point is at the facility in Punta Cana; allow 10–15 minutes for check-in and safety briefing before your 1-hour session begins

Who it's for

Best time to visit

Early morning sessions (7:00–9:00 AM) offer calmer waters and more active dolphins; visit during the dry season (December–April) for the most pleasant weather, though the facility operates year-round.
