We loved our visit to Punta Cana, especially the Bavaro Adventure Park! The staff was friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Safety was their #1 priority! We drove the Polaris (upgrade) through the country side and rode horses in a trail ride excursion. Giddy-up! I wouldn’t change a thing! Plus, delicioso lunch provided.

We traveled to Punta Cana from Canada with my 3 daughters, we met Franzy Laguerre at our Resort Malia Caribe Beach resort. Before even talking about what he had to offer for excursions, he was more then helpful with letting us know what the resort had to offer and explaining where everything was. Being English speaking only, he spoke english great and was a amazing help. He then let us know about excursions he had to offer. We as a family decided to do the sea aquarium, and Franzy was definitely the reason we chose to do this activity which was amazing. The staff at the activity were also amazing, so thank you Franzy and Staff you are truly amazing people.

We had a great time on this excursion. We took a boat ride out to the dolphin area and then our children (ages 9, 12, 14) got to swim with a dolphin, do some tricks and take some great pictures. Be prepared to spend a lot of money on the picture packages but they are worth it.
The staff were all friendly and helpful but it was our sales guy Franzy Legure who really spent time getting to know us and convincing us to take the trip. He spoke with us at our resort on the first day and was not pushy or too intense.
Instead he got to know us and became our friend. He was patient and answered all our questions.
If it wasn’t for his laid back style and friendly demeanour then I don’t that we would have booked the trip.
Thank you Franzy!

Our trip to Manatee Park was AMAZING! Myself, my daughter and our two friends swam with the dolphins and Stephen was so kind to us! After swimming with the dolphins we met another great employee Kedwin Ariel and he was super helpful when guiding us around the park! He even called us up to participate in one of the shows! We had an amazing time with Stephen and Kedwin Ariel! Can’t wait to go back!

We visited Manati Park while on our honeymoon and it was great! We loved walking around and seeing all of the different animals. We also really enjoyed the shows - the dolphin/sea lion show and the bird show were our favorites. We also got the opportunity to walk in the parrot cage and interact with the birds. Julio Garcia helped us with this experience and he was great! He offered to take a picture of my husband and I together with the birds which was great because we had very few pictures of us together. He also did part of the bird show - he was great there as well!

Visited the park on 2 July and was lied to about what was included in the price we paid! Really did ruin the day but then what's made it worst is since arriving back home to England we attempted to load the disc we brought of the dolphin experience to find out it's a blank disc! In the past 5-6 days I've emailed them twice with no reply and everything I ring the number I get a lady who says something in Spanish and then puts the phone down. Absolutely gutted!

Bonjour, je souhaiterais visiter ce parc, comment s y rendre? Est ce qu il y a un service de navette pour venir chercher les touristes à leur hôtel ? Je séjournais à punta cana. Et faut il réserver pour nager avec les dauphins ?

"Bonjour, désolé pour le retard, j'étais en vacances en Jamaïque, à Manati Park, il est préférable d'engager une tournée complète à l'hôtel.
Les dauphins n'ont pas besoin de réserver.
bon voyage
"No se permite el acceso de cámaras fotográficas en la piscina de delfines, se pueda perjudicar al delfín" sobre lo indicado, si hacen fotos profesionales , cuál es el costo aproximado porque he leído en foros que son muy elevados

Hello,
Can I buy a ticket in the park (at the entrance)? Is the price the same as in web or a hotel? Do you work everyday? Do the shoes do everyday? What’s the timetable of shows? Thank you in advance for quick reply.
