We went on this excursion from our hotel in Punta Cana. The salesmen were very nice and friendly-which was part of the reason we bought it. But the bus ride was very long, w/ loud music (fun at first-then it got old fast). The staff at Dolphin Island was very helpful and informative. Unfortunately, it was not alot of time... more

I was sad to read about the bad experiences of a few previous posters. This was a wonderful fun filled trip. We spend about 25 minutes in the water with the dolphins but it felt like longer. The trainers were friendly and cared for the animals. They were able to answer all questions about their care and health. There were... more

January 05 20010 $120.00 per person for 15 minutes in the pool with the dolphins!!! We did not swim with them but we were in the pool with them while they had their photographers taking photos of us so that they could sell us a DVD at an additional cost. We feel that we were totally ripped off and do... more

Okay the dolphins were okay, but the ride there and back was the lowlight of my year. They pile you into the back of an open bus with no seats or seatbelts, just hard benches that throw you around, I'm a 31 yo athletic male but was almost in tears by the end of the day, freezing in the pouring... more

I want to start off by saying that i never go on these websites to complain about company's but I felt so strongly about this place that I had to say something and warn people. My boyfriend and I were in Punta Cana and decided to do swimming with the dolphins on August 14th. We were told to be in... more

it takes half of your day for a 20 minute dip in the water. You are asked to board a bus at 1pm, you get to dolphin island at 1:45, wait in the heat until 2:15, you then watch a video in a hot enclosed room, then you are transported to the dolphin cages, you wait 20 more minutes before... more

I booked a "Swim with the Sea Lions" encounter for me and my boyfriend while in Punta Cana through the Dolphin Island company. I thought it was a great deal at $75 a piece since it also included a snorkel with sharks and sting rays. We booked our trip for 1:15pm, and were told to be at the lobby of... more
