Ocean World Adventure Park: Full Visitor Guide

By the 27 Waterfalls Damajagua Guide Editorial Team · Published from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

Quick answerOcean World Adventure Park sits in Cofresi, about 10 minutes west of Puerto Plata. General admission runs around 79 USD for adults, with dolphin, sea lion and shark encounters sold as paid add ons. It pairs well with a morning at the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua and an afternoon at the park.

What you can do at Ocean World

The park is built around marine encounters. The dolphin swim is the headline experience, alongside sea lion shows, a shark and ray tank, a tropical bird aviary and a snorkeling reef. There is also a Tiger Grotto for photos. Most guests spend three to four hours here, longer if they book a dolphin or sea lion interaction.

Prices and what is included

General admission covers the shows, the aviary and the snorkeling area. Animal interactions are priced separately and book up fast in cruise season, so reserve ahead. Lockers, life jackets and the open buffet are commonly bundled into the day pass. Always confirm current rates and inclusions before you go, since the park updates packages often.

Combine Ocean World with Damajagua

A popular two day plan starts with an early morning at the 27 Waterfalls of Damajagua, when the canyon is cool and quiet, then a relaxed afternoon at Ocean World near Playa Dorada. If you only have one day, do Damajagua first and save the park for sunset shows. Both are easy half day trips from Puerto Plata hotels and cruise ports.
