A dream come true!

Reviewed by: Marzia (Roma-Italy), 2015/04/10

I was really happy to choose the full package Royal Combo. It has been a day full of every kind of emotion: sharks, rays, sea lions... But the royal swim with the Dolphins will stay forever in my heart as one of my dreams came true. Everything is organized with great professionalism and attention to safety. The instructors are great. And what wonderful pictures they took!
My biggest MAHALO to everybody!

We love Dolphins!

Reviewed by: The Lazo's, 2014/10/14

We are residents in Hawaii, actually we moved here from California about 5 years ago and while kids are off school on their fall break, I decided to take them out. I didn't realize there's actually a lot to do and see here, thanks to my cousin, Emily, who works for VELTRA that recommended me to do these things.

We visited Sea Life Park and as my cousin recommended, we went there at 10:00am and I'm glad we did! We saw the Dolphin Cove Show and it was in fact the highlight of our day! It was a great show, very entertaining especially for the young audiences. I also really liked the Sea Lion Show! It's amazing that these animals can actually be trained to do tricks! Pretty fun! They gave us a brochure and schedule for the different shows throughout the day which is good, we didn't miss any of them!

An amazing day!!!

Reviewed by: Erin , 2014/09/17

We undertook all the activities that the park has to offer; dolphin adventure, shark trek, Hawaiian Ray encounter and the Sea Lion experience. I would highly recommended them all. The number of people on each activity is limited (4 for all but the dolphins) which was good. The staff were very informative and helpful. Everything was well run which made it a very relaxed, enjoyable day. The only tip is that the activities started 10-15 mins late which is no problems if you are planning in spending the whole day at the park however can cause issues if you are planning on catching the earlier bus.

Royal Package - Great Day!

Reviewed by: Kristen, 2014/09/08

We had a great time at Sea Life Park. We did the Royal Package and all were amazing, except the sting ray swim/interactive program.

We did the sea lions first, and it was awesome! We have done other dolphin and ray swims in the past, but never were able to find something for sea lions, and this was very cool and fun. We were the only two in the group, so we had a ton of one-on-one time, and got to do lots of fun training techniques and commands. Also got to swim with the sea lion...really fun, and very worth it.

Next, were the rays. This was really boring and not well done, except the fact that they gave us lettuce and let us feed the fish in the pool. The rays were not interested in interacting with us or the trainers, and all you got to do was touch their bellies. We have had MUCH better ray encounters and swims before...with pictures. Not worth it (even with only two of us in the group again).

Third, we did the shark trek. Again, just the two of us. You put on dive helmets and go down in the shark pool. This was really cool. Just the experience of going down, with the helmets, and being with the fish was awesome. They have a HUGE ray in the tank as well as several sharks and lots of fish. We again got to feed the fish, and saw them feed the huge ray. It was very cool, and we got some good pictures courtesy of Sea Life Park (for a price of course). Also, they are very informative.

Last, was dolphins. AWESOME dolphin swim. The foot push and fin swim were great. It was very interactive, and they keep the groups very small. One of the best dolphins swims I have ever done.

NEGATIVES: they were 20-25 minutes late getting us for each activity-very aggravating. They want you on time, but keep you waiting a LONG time. The cost for pictures is outrageous-more than any other swim or excursion I have ever done (we got them anyways...how could you not?). Food at the park is terrible.

One off experience for life!

Reviewed by: Natalie Redman, 2014/08/23

I booked this experience for my 13 year old daughter.
This will be something that she will remember for life. A unique experience that she cant do back home in New Zealand. The dolphin kissed her, clapped its flippers with my daughters hands and performed for her. So cute to watch & see!!

  • The safe enclosure where the experience takes place

  • Beautiful scenery where SeaLife is set

Shark!

Reviewed by: michele, 2014/08/07

Had a fun day at this little sea park. Nice people, the grands liked the shark dive, a little tame for these 20-somethings, but fun never-the-less. No one was too keen on going out in the open ocean, so this worked out perfectly. Loved that the gift shop actually had things produced in Hawaii!

Swim with Dolphins At Sea Life Park

Reviewed by: Matt Buckland , 2014/04/14

This activity was ok. We chose the cheapest package to save for other activities. We were in a group of about 20 people and you really end up just posing with the dolphins for photos while standing on a platform. There was no swimming or free swim involved. Misleading. I would recommend the Sea Lion encounter at Sea Life Park over this. It's a much smaller group and a lot more one on one.

AWESOME LIFE EVENT

Reviewed by: Loi, 2014/03/16

This was absolutely the highlight of our trip. I struggled with the expense at first, not knowing what to expect, but it was totally worth it. Hawaii was amazing but this day put the trip over the top. There was nothing disappointing about the day! We will cherish the day and our pictures forever. As for using Veltra, they were really cool. I was nervous at being in the right place for the morning pick up so I called Veltra and they reassured me and everything turned out fine. Veltra was the cheapest (even cheaper then going to the park direct) and they hooked us up with other events as well. Reid was a huge help and I will use Veltra again.

Spending the day with marine life

Reviewed by: anonymous, 2014/03/03

This was my favorite activity that we did the whole time we were in Hawaii. We went with the ultimate package, royal dolphin swim, sea lions, ray swim and shark tank, definitely worth the extra money.
With the royal dolphin swim the big activities you get to do are kiss the dolphin, and she kisses you, cradle her, ride on the dorsal fin and get pushed out of the water by your feet. Smaller activities are rub their belly and back and dance. They are amazing animals and you really get to feel how strong they are. You also get to meet the worlds only wolphine.
The sea lions were great too, you get to feed them, hug, pet, get kissed and swim with them. And since there was only two of us we got to ride them also.
With the rays you get right in with them and other tropical fish. They bring the rays around and you get to pet the under side of them. You also get lettuce to feed the fish while you snorkeling with the rays.
The shark tank was the last thing we did. You put on a helmet and descend the stairs to the cage were you get to see hammer heads and white tipped reef sharks. They also have the largest ray in there and other tropical life. With you are your guide and safety diver at all times.
During every activity, except shark tank, you must were a life jacket at all times. I do recommend bringing snacks and water. We did have time in between activities to eat and tour the park through the day. But do watch out for the price of pictures. We paid 260.00 dollars for 12 pictures and a dvd of the dolphin swim.

Even better than advertised

Reviewed by: Gerry, 2014/02/18

We loved every minute of the royal package. The trainers were very nice, informative and very easy to work with. From start to finish, the staff did a great job at making sure you learned about the animals but more importantly have a good time doing it. Trainers were great with younger kids and adults. They definitely catered to the crowd they were working with. I would definitely recommend this package. The swim with the dolphins is obviously the main event and gets most of the attention, but the swim with the sea lions and the ray encounter was just as interesting. The sea lions were very fun to interact with and hilarious to work with. Snorkeling with rays and the tropical fish was a very cool experience as well. Most importantly, the swim with the dolphins lived up to the hype. The tricks they were able to do and the interaction with the dolphins was great. The only down side was with all of the experiences, you can not bring a camera. You can use them around the park, but not during the activity. Unless you have someone with you not participating in the event to take pictures, you will have to buy their pictures of you during the activity. The price of the pictures is kinda high and with no other option, you're pretty stuck. The photographers were great to work with, very friendly and took great pictures, but the cost for the prints are high. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic. A great time all around!
