Excellent excursion in PUJ. I recommend this low cost , high value 4 hour excursion coz we had more than we bargained for. We went there to see parrots up close which were terrific. But we were suprised to see so many more species, that was a bonus for us bird lovers. There was a dolphin show which made me tear up at the sight of such beauty. Also the iguanas , flamingos, ducks, and monkeys.
It was trully a great bargain for my family. We negociated the price at the hotel. My tour operator was not selling it so we went ahead and shopped around. Needless to say, we did good. Price on the web site is what we paid however, no discount so it's fair.
Bing a few dollars to tip personnel there, they do an excellent job maintaining the park and animating the shows. The horse with the guys on ski, I did not care for. We missed the Taino show while we were roaming the grounds.
The only downside is the fact that I should have been offered to come in the morning, it would not have been so warm. But of course, we tend to purchase drinks if it's warmer right ? so there you go! marketing.

Interesting place to visit for one time. Doesn't keeps big amount of animals but the whole excursion consists on different shows they do. Everything over priced. You have to negotiate.

Slim variety of animals. A lot of birds. Manatee and dolphin show a hit! Trainers have clear devoted relationship with animals.

If you love animals and want something to do other than lie on the beach everyday, this is a great experience. Our guide "Antonio Banderas" made sure we were taken care of every step of the way. The park isn't big but with the little shows every hour or so you had plenty to keep you busy. Even the food was good! If you have a chance, swim with the dolphins, the trainers are very good with them.

We had the best time. We didn't know we'd get a guide but we had "Uncle Bob", he was GREAT! We were able to see all the shows, all the animals and have time for lunch. He would pick up the stroller to make sure we could get to shows on time! Wonderful park and "Uncle Bob" was fantastic!!

Nice experience, a bit of a money grab at times (they attempt to van people bringing in anything to drink).

Out of a whole 7 days in Punta Cana and the surrounding areas for this to be our last day it was the LEAST enjoyable for us. The best part of us being there was that my daughter and mother got their hair braided but only after we felt pressured for us to have the lady braid. The shows were only 10 minutes long and the employees PUSHED you to go see the shows and then practically had their hands out begging for money as tip towards the end. Also my daughter was very interested in watching the Taino show but we left early out of discomfort once we were brought into the “Taino Village” all its was were outside vendor pulling you by the hand almost BEGGING you to buy their product once you said no they would discard you like yesterday’s trash and try to move on to the next victim (park guest) and then force a sale on them. Some even closing their shop because no one wanted to even go near them. We had a lady tell us she was going to walk and explain to us the Taino life only to be brought into her selling hut. It was terrible. I understand people have to make a living but a little respect for guest and maybe guest wouldn’t feel so pressured and more secure to purchase. Also we brought food as my 5 year old LOVES to snack throughout the day and they made us leave our food at the front entrance if we wanted to eat we must eat next to the teller. The teller told us we had to leave the food their because other guest go crazy and try to feed the animals only after a few steps away was a food vendor who was begging us to purchase food as soon as we passed by. Now to end on a positive note, the only cool thing was that they did not charge extra for kids (one or two no more than that) to swim with the dolphins

I am shocked that your employers ( Emmanuel Joseph) sales drugs instant of to be focus on excursion as a salesman. He keep doing that in the Bavaro Princess Resort daily and disturb Tourists even familys with kids without fears and to feel even shame.

Horrible experience. It was a complete waste of money (35 USD per adult) to attend this park. The adverts promised an interactive experience with 5 super shows . We stayed for two (each less then 10 minutes long) and then paid extra to go back to our resort by taxi. We were told when booking that the excursion was 3 hours but when we got there it was actually 5 hours. In all it was interesting for about 30 minutes and then they expect you to shop at their kiosks and pay for food that is massively overpriced. The animals also live in neglect and the monkeys even seem afraid of some of the staff. If I could give this place zero stars I would. Id reccomend that no one ever attend this park.

There is a dolphin and sea lion show, which is pretty cool. They have different animals throughout the park, some you can touch and interact with. It is worth the trip if you are down in this area. They have a shuttle bus that runs every day to the different resorts in the Punta Cana area. You must make reservations with the park before you go.

Nice park, small not too much walking. It was very hot, they don’t allow food in so of course the food and drinks were over priced. There are people selling souvenirs so you may feel a little pressure into buying. I thought it was a 3 hour excursion but it was 5. The buses dropped us off and there was not other way to get back to the resort, I was ready to go after 3 hours.

Overall my daughter enjoyed her self and the animals and that was the point. We didn’t pay extra to swim with the dolphins and I was glad, they were in a small pool.

I've been here twice and it's always been a nice experience. I even went swimming with the dolphins! The only bad thing were those prices, they wanted a few dollars for a single bottle of water and had us all leave the water we brought at the front gate.

Awful experience.

My gf (now wife) and I went back in 2014.
We had to throw out our water bottles at the entrance. Because we have to buy their water from their vendors.
"No exterior food or water allowed. Buy our food and water. We need your money!"

Swimming with the dolphins was an ok experience. You could tell they weren't happy. Small pond for amazing creatures. The dolphin show afterwards was even worse. A few jumps here and there and the other part of the show was basically explaining how they care for them.

The park itself has to have some much needed TLC. Vendors were somewhat aggressive with their sales tactics, inviting you to see their and insisted that we buy from them. Almost grabbing your arms to make the sale final.

Finally, some of the animals looked very malnourished. Skinny and some were even branded.

We spent too much money for a 10-15 swim with dolphins who deserve much better than what they have there.

We spent too much time there to actually enjoy our stay.

At the resort, Sunwing was very insistent in promoting this park. They had us in, hooked, lined and sinker. Showing us some pictures that looked almost too good to be true. Shame on Sunwing for promoting them.

Bottom line, save your money. It's definitely not worth it. You can do something else that you'll surely enjoy more than this park.

please dont go there.

it should be, all about the pleasure, not all about the money.

they should shut it down, en take all animals to places where they have more dignity en space

It's a decent place to visit probably over priced for what you get. I feel bad for the dolphins that are given no room or place to swim around.

Huge waste of money. Do not go here. If I could give it zero stars I would. Exploiting animals for money is disgusting. None of the animals have near enough room to live and run. All the employees try to make you buy stuff the entire time. This place is run down, old and should be shut down.

This a nice interactive zoo. However, you're not able to bring in your own food or beverages. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and out the animals but near the end of the "tour" you're forced to go to an area that has many little huts where you're bombarded with over eager locals looking for you to buy stuff from them. You almost need to be rude to them to get away.

In A Nutshell:

-Went to Manati Park during a rain and it was still open.
-Free parking is available.
-As soon as you buy your entrance ticket and enter, you will pose w/ some models and parrots for photos.
-The park is not very big and can be explored in an hour.
-You can decline a tour and just explore on your own.
-They have a variety of animals and some are in large groups (i.e. the iguanas and guinea pigs).

Overall, this is a good place to take small kids, but don't get your hopes up if you expect a nicer park.
