“unforgettable. worth every dollar”

From $120
Time to actually get in the water. The Explorer is the full swim β 50 minutes with a dolphin, one small group, and the good stuff: a belly ride holding the fins, a boogie-board push across the pool, plus kisses and belly rubs. Photographers handle the pictures so you don't have to.
This is the one where you actually get in the water. In a spacious dolphinarium, a single dolphin spends 50 minutes with your small group of no more than 12 β and no, you don't need to be a strong swimmer. These are trained dolphins, gentle as they come, so relax and enjoy it.
What you'll get up to:
You won't need to fumble with a camera, either: professional photographers are in there catching every moment, and the water's clear enough to make the shots look great.
Spaces are tight on these swims, so lock yours in early.
Good to know
- Cameras aren't allowed in the dolphin area; professional photos are available to buy afterward.
- Pregnant women can't take part in this option.
- The dolphins here are cared for under some of the strictest animal-welfare standards in the Caribbean.
- Rather stay dry, or go bigger? There's the no-swim Dolphin Encounter, or the Dolphin Royal with two dolphins and a smaller group

“I cannot explain enough about how good this company is. You get exactly what you pay for and the price is more than fair. I had a family of 10 and we did several amazing excursions. I have traveled a lot and used plenty of tour companies and the one thing that stood out the most about Punta Cana Tours is the amazing communication. I had all of my questions answered timely and thoroughly. I ended up making changes after booking and they were very receptive and helpful. I will be using them again when I come back. π”

“Punta Cana Tours was awesome! Booked our Punta Cana excursions online, printed our vouchers, and had the time of a lifetime. This was our second time booking with Punta Cana Tours and last year when one of our excursions had to be canceled due to an incoming hurricane they fully refunded my money quickly and were very helpful during the process. I highly recommended them!”

“I am very glad that I chose Punta Cana Tours for our excursions. We did the Dolphin Adventure and the Dolphin Observer. I always felt safe when riding with the drivers or while on the excursion. But be warned, ANYTHING you may want to buy (such as photo or video) is very expensive! 1 photo with myself and a Dolphin was $40! I don't think it that has anything to do with Punta Cana Tours and I would do the excursions again with them, no question.”

“Our Dolphin Discovery excursion was amazing! Our only issue was that our host continued to speak spanish to answer questions and give info, although he could certainly speak english very well. When asked to repeat in english, he would just continue to the next part of the show. There were more non spanish speakers that missed a lot of information that day.”

“The experience was great would recommend the transfer cars are nice pick you up and take you back very comfy the dolphins were so cute although photo options add up and get pricey so you are inclined to upgrade your package to have the photos included. Loved it !”

“Absolutely one of the BEST Experience Ever! Everyone was very accommodating , helpful & professional. I totally recommend this excursion. Well with the cost, plus you experience alot more than just the dolphins.”
