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

The dolphin are so cute but they have few scratches probably the bracelets from the hotel hurt them, but over there it's not alloewd to wear rings or any kind of jewrly to avoid hurting them. Thwe price is 120$ per person , the dvd is 35$ don't worry they improved the system now before you take it they play... more

I have always wanted to swim with dolphins and wanted to make sure that I wasn't encouraging the mistreatment of these amazing beings. I found this place and saw nothing but great reviews (that these animals were the ones saved from other places that mistreated them) and so thought I would give it a try. I was not disappointed at... more

My family and I were looking forward to swimming with dolphins. Our adventure started out by the bus picking us up 45 minutes late then we drove around for an hour and 15 minutes picking up guests at other hotels. When we finally arrived at our destination and brought out to swim with the dolphins--it was very structured and controlled.... more

I recently went to Dolphin Island while I visited the Dominican Republic. Swimming with the dolphins is something that I have always wanted to do. The day started off with issues. I was supposed to be picked up at my hotel at 7:20 in the morning. However, an hour later I was still sitting in the lobby. The concierge at... more
