OVERVIEW

Experience a variety of marine adventures and animal encounters at Ocean World, one of the world’s largest manmade dolphin habitats. The included day pass entitles you to explore the park’s most popular areas, including the rainforest, bird sanctuary and aquariums. You will gain a greater understanding of the marine mammals by watching them flaunt their prodigious talents at the dolphin and sea lion exhibits while their trainers describe the animals’ characteristics. You will also have plenty of opportunities to enjoy the water by swimming in the sheltered sea off the park’s beach lagoon and by snorkeling in a tropical reef aquarium that is teeming with brightly colored saltwater fish. The Dominican Adventure offers an enlightening glimpse into the local culture, as you might watch skilled artisans hand-roll cigars, carve wooden art objects, demonstrate the merengue and perform a folkloric ballet. To round out your experience, a buffet lunch is included and time is allotted for shopping.
