Ocean World Adventure Park, Marina and Casino

Located at the end of Cofresi Beach just outside Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic, this new zoological marine park has been the talk of the town since inception. That’s because it offers the best activities to its customers and is unlike any other park in its kind. Its uniqueness comes from the fact that Ocean World provides a multitude of activities, including a marine park, several restaurants, a Casino, a marina, a disco, evening shows and an entertainment complex.

Ocean World allows guests to interact with a variety of animals, including dolphins, sea lion, stingrays, bottlenose dolphins and nurse sharks, as well as Bengal tigers and tanks filled with tropical fish, to name a few. Animal lovers are sure to come close to their favorites and fully enjoy this moment through the countless shows and activities onsite.

"Puerto Plata Highlight

The most memorable highlight of my Puerto Plata vacation was the dolphin swim at Ocean World! During 30-minute I’ve been with 2 dolphins. Finishing with a spectacular dorsal fin tow and a foot push!

And the program was very safe: all participants in the dolphin swim wear life jackets to float freely and safely on the surface, and there were 2 trainer allowing the dolphins to come closer etc. 10 participants and two dolphins took part in our session, making it a great personal encounter!

Before that day I’d never had the chance to experience these intriguing mammals up close and personal.  My whole family was so happy and it was not only fun, it was also very educational because before the interaction you participate to an educational introduction presented by expert dolphin trainers. They taught us fascinating facts about the dolphins and gave us important safety instructions for our dolphin interaction – a must for a truly pleasurable experience.” 


“Trainer for A Day Program:  INCREDIBLE!

When I booked a vacation to Puerto Plata, one of the reasons was to participate in the Dolphin Swim.  Then I read about the Trainer for a Day program. For a full 8 hour day, I worked directly with the most incredible dolphin trainer, Robinson.

 I participated in the Dolphin Encounter along with spending time in the water with 4 different dolphins. I learned to check the dolphin's exterior, learned commands that I used, was in the water with the dolphins, prepared food for them and got to brush the teeth of Boomer, the largest male dolphin. I cannot put into words what the day was like. Robinson, the trainer, walked me through all of the other animal exhibits and allowed me to asked questions of EACH of the trainers for the sea lions, sharks, birds, and Bengal tigers. Each of the trainers took a great deal of time with me and they answered every question I asked.

I cannot really express what the full day experience was, but it was a 15 on a scale of 1 to 10. In addition to the experience itself, the cost included an Ocean Trainer shirt and hat, lunch at the buffet which was delicious ( and the food was actually much better than regular resort’s food), and two pictures that were taken by their photographer. If you have a full day to spend at the park and you would like a much more hands on role with the dolphins, the Trainer for a Day program is a MUST. It is an experience I will never forget.”

“A top priority...

This was very enjoyable and a true once in a lifetime experience. The interaction with all the different animals was amazing. The best part of the day was the Sea Lion excursion it was the best bang for your buck. The swimming with the sharks was surprisingly enjoyable and would do them all over again. The excursion with all the animals is worth the money.”
