Ocean World is the biggest marine park in the Caribbean

The world’s largest dolphin lagoon, the only sea lion encounter of its kind, the world’s first shark interaction pool, tigers, birds, shows and much more await your day long adventure at Ocean World.

Created by a group of marine animal experts, this new zoological marine park has the most exciting animal encounters the Caribbean has to offer.

The park is situated on a point along the North Shore of Hispaniola with breathtaking views of the sea. Once inside the park, guest will know they are in a very special place and are prepared to experience a day of adventure.

There are a wide variety of animals to see at Ocean World. In addition to playful Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins, Ocean World is also home to stingrays, tropical fish, sharks, exotic birds, reptiles, and fun loving sea lions!

Encounters
What sets Ocean World apart from any other marine park in the world is the opportunity to have an encounter and feel the emotion of having direct contact with all the animals that live in this wonderful sanctuary.

For most guests, the highlight of a visit to Ocean World will be the rare opportunity to swim and play with a beautiful bottlenose dolphin. The dolphin-swim experience begins with a brief orientation, after; the guests enter the water for their introduction to a dolphin. Guests learn about dolphins’ behavior, get to know the animals and discover how Ocean World’s trainers use hand signals and positive reinforcement to communicate with them. Taking the relationship one step further, guests swim and play with the dolphins. Other Ocean World attractions allow guests to safely experience the marine world and its amazing animals.

In the Coral Reef, snorkelers swim in a colorful reef teeming with thousands of exotic fish. The snorkeling here is safe and is available everyday of the year.

In the stingray bay, float with, and pet these gentle creatures that don’t really sting at all.

More adventurous guests may dare to touch, pet and feed our sharks in our 200,000-gallon (760,000-liter) shark pool. These mysterious and misunderstood sea creatures – many over six feet (1.8 meters) in length, will swim right up to guests standing on a platform in the water.

Guest will not help but smile as they touch, feed, pet, and play with our sea lions. Guest will laugh and learn as they sit poolside with these amazing animals.
