Overview

Dolphin Excellence is the pinnacle of our marine encounters. You spend a full sixty minutes paired with two dolphins in a group of no more than six guests. That means more time, more activities, and more moments where it is just you and the dolphin. Dorsal-fin rides, foot-push boosts across the lagoon, synchronised swimming, and freestyle play are all part of the session. VIP transport, a welcome package, and priority lounge access complete the premium feel from the moment you leave your hotel.

  • A full hour in the water with two dolphins for maximum variety and interaction
  • Groups capped at six for VIP-level personal attention
  • Extended activities: dorsal rides, foot pushes, synchronised dances, and more
  • VIP lounge, priority check-in, and premium refreshments
  • The most complete dolphin programme available in Punta Cana

Worth every penny and then some. The dorsal ride was the thrill of a lifetime and the group of six felt like a private session. Two dolphins means double the fun and double the photo opportunities.

We have done dolphin encounters in Mexico and Hawaii -- this was in a different league. The extra time, the two dolphins, and the VIP touches made it feel truly special. Could not recommend more highly.
