We had such a great experience in Punta Cana with Punta Cana Adventures. From booking up until the night before our dolphin encounter adventure, Punta Cana Adventures were very communicative and quick to respond to any We had such a great experience in Punta Cana with Punta Cana Adventures. From booking up until the night before our dolphin encounter adventure, Punta Cana Adventures were very communicative and quick to respond to any questions I had via email and text. Our guide/ trainer Chelo was great! We were able to interact with two dolphins, manta ray and we snorkeled with sharks. We had such a wonderful experience. We were with my two sons, one which has autism. I let the trainer know in advance and they were very attentive. When my son needed a break, we were able to sit in the deck/bar area, have some food and drinks and enjoy the beautiful scenery. We watched boats go by, and watched the pelicans fly by. I would book future adventures again.
