Hi All,

If you have not put together your plans for Summer travel,  you might want to consider to take a Swimming with the Dolphins Puerto Plata Dominican Republic vacation.

A few things to consider.

1. Right now, the dolphin programs are discounted either by $10 to $16 off till November 30, 2011.  Also, you get a FREE lunch included, a $20 value!

2. Also, SPECIAL GROUPS DISCOUNT: 1 pax FREE each 10 people traveling together!!! Here is how it works: if a group of 10 pax books same Dolphin Interactive Program (Dolphin Encounter/ Dolphin Swim/ Royal Swim) they get 1 pax free. So they end up paying for 9 pax only. And the lunch is included for everyone!! (not drinks) Booking request and voucher must show the code “group discount”. This Special Groups Discount will be valid throughout the whole summer, until August 31^st 2011

To see a little more of the park, watch this video and you will get a better sense of all the things you can do, dolphins, sea lions, sharks, rays and much more.

If you need some help with Traveling to Puerto Plata < Click Here for Information > I have been to Puerto Plata a few times and have always been treated really well by the people and the resorts.  A lot of American’s go to Punta Cana, but you should consider this destination because it has Beaches and Moutains in the same location where Punta Cana does not.

Are there any travelers out there that can add their experiences traveling to Puerto Plata?

Hey guys we just got some more adorable pictures of the bay sea lion. This  baby sea lion is just too cute for words so I’m gonna let the pictures do the talking. and you can tell us what you think about them.

What did i tell you, isn’t he adorable, this little fella came out kicking and swimming and he hasn’t stopped ever since.  He has an abundance of energy and is an amazingly good  natural swimmer.

Here is a picture with Mom,  the trainers says that he shows a great deal of affection to his mother each day before he begins to swim around and frolic in the cool waters and warm sun.

Here is another great close up shot where the baby sea lion is showing much affection to his mother. These creatures are amazingly human like, in their emotions and demeanor, much like a baby child’s dependence on his mother before he goes off to his first day of school. Its very heart warming and touching to say the least.

You aren’t actually able to see it well here but there is a  small sea lion toy in the mouths of the two Sea lions that appear to be kissing. The Baby sea lion eagerly waits his turn to chew the toy. Also another fact you didn’t know, the largest of the three sea lions there is actually the father, so in essence you are looking at a happy family shot of Sea lions, simply amazing.

So there it is,  the new pictures that just came in.  These sea lions love human interaction, which is why you should consider a swim with sea lions activity in Puerto Plata it will really give you an amazing experience.

So what do you guys think about the pictures?

which one is your favorite?

We would love to hear from you.

God Bless,

It is always so cool when a new marine mammal is born and in Ocean World Adventure Park in Puerto Plata Dominican Republic sent us a press release to to announced the birth of a baby sea lion of the South American breed.

It was told to me that the first moment that the team of experts at the park were aware  of the  state of gestation of the sea lion, the pup’s mother; all necessary care was taken to ensure the well being of both mother  and the baby. The new baby sea lion was born July 24, 2010 during the day, after a labor of about an hour. The pup is a male who, at birth, weighed 25 pounds. The delivery occurred in breech position (fins first), contrary to the usual head first. Parents are named Chacha, the mother, and Jefe , both 9 years old and originally from Uruguay.   Chacha nursed him right away after the birth and baby pup grew strong.  He swam for the first time at 11 days old and is already a confident swimmer.  Like all babies, is very playful and loves to play with pieces of ice, hoses and other toys made by the trainers and staff that is taking care of him.

The training of the new baby will start from the time when he can eat solid food (fish).  Among the initial behaviors he will learn will be relaxation techniques to allow the veterinarians to perform routine checks, which ensure a long and healthy life.

The staff at Ocean World is very happy to share this important news to you, since the birth of this new baby sea lion symbolizes the commitment to preserving the environment, diversity of life, care and respect for all animal species at this well kept facility. This is the second event of its kind to be recorded at Ocean World, as in 2006 a bottlenose dolphin “Lili” was born under human care in our facilities.

The staff at Ocean World has successfully nurtured the second birth of an exotic animal in this facility. As evidence that these species under human care can live long, healthy and safe lives.

Since last summer the park has been developing an educational campaign aimed at children to create awareness about important issues such as the care and protection of animals and the preservation of our planet’s natural resources.

Would you love to see this new baby pup? You can if you do the Swimming with the dolphins and sea lion combo in Puerto Plata. Just contact us about that program. I don’t think they have a name for the pup yet. What name would you want to call him?
God Bless,

You may be going to Punta Cana Dominican Republic which is a popular vacation spot right now in the Caribbean.  We offer 2 different types of Swimming with the Dolphins in Dominican Republic, the Natural Dolphin Swim and the Trained Dolphin Swim.

In Punta Cana is only the Natural Dolphin Swim, which is where you get to free swim with the dolphin, where you can swim and snorkel with the dolphins. This program is amazing because it is totally natural, just like you would swim with them in the open ocean.

In Puerto Plata, you can get the trained dolphin swim, where you get the dorsal fin ride, the peck ride, and the famous toe push. A lot of people call the toe push “the superman ride” and these behaviors are a lot of fun.

If you are in Punta Cana and want the Trained Dolphin Swim, you will need to take the Punta Cana Dolphin Swim Bus Tour where you get picked up with a comfortable bus from any of these Cities, Bavaro, Punta Cana, Bayahibe, La Romana, and Santo Domingo and brought to Puerto Plata.

If you have been to the Dominican Republic, which location do you like better, Puerto Plata or Punta Cana?
