any dolphin encounters near bavaro beach? My wife like dolphins and want to know where can be seen.

I am not aware of any near Bavaro. However if you take an excusrsion to Saona island, and take the speed boats back from the island( as opposed to the catamaran) you will likly see some dolphins as wee did. Very exciting! I also think there is a dolphin park somewhere near Punta Cana where you can swim with them..ask the hotel for more info.

Re: swim with the dolphins

One of the most heavily advertised excursions in the Punta Cana area is a visit to Maniti Park, an ecological water park where one can swim with dolphins. Entrance cost is US$21 (US$10 if under 12) with an extra US$65 to swim with the dolphins (reservations recommended). Tours can be arranged from any of the hotels in the area or by calling 809-552-0807 or 809-688-0729 (fax at 809-552-0810). Transportation to and from the hotels is included in the admission price and they have a colorful bus that goes around to all the hotels. The park is located about 20 minutes from the hotels in the Punta Cana area.
