About this activity

Get up close with dolphins in Punta Cana through interactive encounters that showcase their intelligence and athleticism. This hands-on experience lets you cue jumps, ride alongside these marine mammals, and share moments of playful connection—all within a single action-packed hour.

Learn how to cue and watch as the dolphin leaps right over you.

​Amaze yourself while discovering the power and speed together with the softness and the gentleness of your new flippered friend.

 In addition, the Explorer Program includes kissing and dancing with dolphins, the belly ride, where you will hold the dolphin as he rides across the water and much more! 

Highlights

  • Cue dolphin jumps and watch them leap directly overhead
  • Belly ride experience: hold the dolphin as it glides through water
  • Kiss and dance with dolphins in shallow pools
