Good to know
Know before you go
You need your mobile voucher to enter the tour. It can't be transferred and only works for the booked date and time. Keep it ready on your phone, since you can't enter without it.
Comfortable beach clothes suit the park's outdoor activities. Bring a swimsuit and towel for the river portion. Biodegradable sunscreen is recommended, and a life jacket is included for water activities during your visit.
Hotel transfers serve Punta Cana and Bayahibe. Your email gives the booking reference and exact pickup time. You need to be at the meeting point at least 5 minutes early, so plan around pickup rather than the park's start time.
Snacks come with the visit, but lunch costs extra. You can pay for buggy rides too. Your ticket doesn't cover photos or souvenirs, so you'll need to budget for those if you want them.
Infant tickets cover ages 0 to 2, with children ages 3 to 12 in the next band. Infants travel on an adult's lap. Check how your young child can join each activity before booking.
You can book for 1 to 30 travelers with an adult and use a mobile ticket. You get a full refund if you cancel at least 24 hours before departure. There isn't a refund if you cancel later.

The Eco Park outing costs from $90 per adult. Hotel transport and snacks come with your visit, along with a life jacket for the water activities. Lunch and alcoholic drinks cost extra, so the package doesn't cover all your meals or purchases.
- When does Marinarium Eco Park run from Punta Cana hotels?

- How long do you spend at Marinarium Eco Park?
The park visit lasts 4 hours. Its open itinerary lets you move among animal encounters and river activities without a fixed sequence for every station. Your hotel journey has separate timing, so don't use those hours alone to predict your room-return time.
- Is Marinarium Eco Park a private family outing?
No, this tour can have up to 50 travelers. The limit of 30 applies to one reservation rather than the whole departure. Your family can join the park activities, but booking together doesn't reserve the grounds or transport exclusively for you.
