Sea Trek

Reviewed by: Scott Weinberg, 2009/01/25

I have a wonderful time where I went underwater with Sea Trek at Sea Life Park in Hawaii. This is perfect opportunity for both of them. I really enjoyable where I went underwater with the helmet on. I can barely breath very well. I petting with sea Turtles and etc. It was incredible where I stay down for in between 10 or 15 minutes. I would like to says thanks for Mark & Dan our opportunity to me that I went underwater at the park. I will epxect to see you again in the future. This is my first time where I went underwater. So otherwise, I will have a nice contribution with the staff who have a good support for me.

Regards

Scott W.

Most amazing experience EVER!!!

Reviewed by: Mimi Harp, 2008/11/29

I just got back from my vacation in Hawaii and I still can't stop gushing over how incredible the dolphin royal swim is! We went with my mom and my brother, and this was by far the best activity we did while in Hawaii. You get to spend a lot of time with the dolphins since the trainers do a great job of splitting the activities between all of the participants. If you love dolphins, then this is definitely the tour for you!

Great time!

Reviewed by: Sara P., 2008/10/14

The dolphin encounter was one of my favorite things i did during my vacation. Being able to touch and interact with the dolphins is something I will never forget. The staff was very entertaining and informative. Highly recommend.

First time dolphin encounter

Reviewed by: Christina, 2008/09/24

I had a great time!! The dolphins seemed to have a great time too! I thought the trainer we had was EXCELLENT, and had great customer service! One thing I would recommend to first timers though, is bring your own transportation...we could not imagine waiting there for others to finish their tour of the facility...it is pretty sparse!

Don't Expect Sea World

Reviewed by: From Western PA, 2008/08/24

This certainly isn't Sea World. It is a very small (quaint) park. If you have had the experience to swim with dolphins like I had in Mexico (ocean evironment, large swim area for dolphin, small group), this certainly isn't the same.

It is a bit expensive, but one of the cheaper ones. It is in a small tank environment with about 4 groups of 10. Each group does have their own dolphin. It is a quick kiss, belly rub, and belly ride. They really just want to sell you pictures or a cd. My younger children enjoyed it (10 and 11), but they have never done it before. Don't have pictures, because only their photographers can get close enough to take any. I did enjoy the drive out, and the scenery.

Dolphin Swim Adventure

Reviewed by: BoiseNP, 2008/08/18

My husband, 8 year old daughter, and I attended this excursion on Saturday Aug 9 2008 as a part of our 10th anniversary celebration. We had paarticipated in a similiar experience on our honeymoon in Mexico 10 years ago and had high expectations because of our prior dolphin encounter. In all the park was small, and the cages a bit old and dirty. The animals seemed happy and the trainers showed a genuine love and bond with the animals. We purchased the photos, and the video but were disappointed that it was edited to the point that a lot of the dolphin action was left off the tape, and only the photo ops were really videoed. In all, a fun experience for first timers, or introducing children to the animals, but I would not recommend this if you have done it before...way too commercial.

Amazing!

Reviewed by: Aaron; Rockford, IL, 2008/08/13

This was one of the most enjoyable activities I took part in on my trip to Hawai'i. I absolutely loved it. The trainers and staff are almost as sweet as the dolphins. I was thoroughly impressed with the fact that no one was excluded from the activities based on size or age. If you signed up for it, you got to swim with dolphins. Ricky, one of the trainers, is entertaining even without the dolphins. It's like a comedy show and dolphin swim in one. He's hilarious! Great pictures at a reasonable price, and if you have someone to sit in the stands, they'll even let you take your own pics and videos. I highly recommend this activity. Oh, and if you do it, add on the ray encounter. Not many people do it, it only costs $15, and it's also very entertaining and informative.

Wish we had more time with the dolphins..Love our pictures that they took of us with the dolphins.. A little pricey though.. we also swam with the stingrays took lots of pictures.. we enjoyed our day.. but wish we could have left a little earlier then we did..Very hot and long day..we got done with both activities by 11:30 am and did not get picked back up until 3:00 pm.. We got a little bored.

Royal Dolphin Swim

Reviewed by: PapaBear, 2008/05/31

We REALLY liked Sea Life Park and all their cool underwater creatures! Our whole family did the Dolphin Royal Swim and had a BLAST! We actually spent the whole day there. The weather was perfect, the guides were funny ... and educational, to boot. Took LOTS of pictures and would definitely do something like this again! We had such a great time in Hawaii!

Wild Wetsuit Experience

Reviewed by: hawaii4life, 2008/05/08

My Mom and I went on the Sea Trek Adventure in April. We didn't know we would have to put on a wetsuit but it was totally worth it!!! It feels like you are scuba diving with so many sea creatures surrounding you. It was peaceful and exciting at the same time with the gentle manta rays gliding over your head and sea turtles swimming up to peer into your helmet! We even got to pet the silky belly of a GIANT Manta Ray - what an unforgettable experience!!!

Unique and Amazing

Reviewed by: hawaii4life, 2008/05/08

I have no idea sea lions were soooo amazing. You really get up close and personal, petting and playing with them. My Mom and I hung out with the sea lions and we had so much fun....we bought every picture they took of us because you can tell how from the photos that we were having the time of our lives!

AMAZING!!

Reviewed by: The, 2008/04/28

First, I just have to say there is nothing you can put into words to describe this experience. It's amazing. We chose the Royal Dolphin swim because I wanted two dolphins to swim with instead of one. I don't know if it made a difference but my husband said I never stopped smiling. I will say two things about this event. My husband is NOT a strong swimmer...so originally we were concerned about him going. I have to say, if you can't swim, you can still experience this. If you can dog paddle you should be fine. Everyone wears heavy duty life vests and floating is no problem even if you're a 220 lb man. So if you have concerns about that... DON'T let it stop you! The only other thing I will say is that we purchased the OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive DVD of our experience. I am a huge advocate of zoo's and aquariums and rarely feel as if the money I've spent is going to waste, however, this DVD was trash. I wasn't expecting much, but out of 2 DVD players and 2 laptops it will only play

What a wonderful time!

Reviewed by: Janie, 2008/04/23

We went all out on this one---we swam with the dolphins, the rays, and we did the sea trek! We loved all three! The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. The ray pool is a bit small and murky, but still stunning for being able to handle live rays! I'd say don't miss it if you can afford to go and do the encounters, do it do it do it! The only thing i'd warn about would be that the park is small, not much there to do if you don't do the special encounters.

The staff is very friendly. It's a little expensive, but after the event, I think it worths it. It is a life time experience especially for kids.

Fun Activity

Reviewed by: Karen, 2008/03/31

The Dolphin Adventure was quite fun. The venue is a bit less than what I had imagined. (I was thinking more along the lines of SeaWorld-esque.) Though the staff was quite courteous and the facility was clean. This was a good first-time adventure with dolphins. Would not recommend eating at their food court.

Sea Life Park

Reviewed by: Bz, 2008/03/17

Sea Life Park was very unique. Besides having the dolphins from the movie "50 FIRST DATES" the people and atmosphere is very unique. I would recommend to anyone that is going to the island of Oahu for the 1st 2nd or 3rd time. Very cool, and family friendly.

The kids loved it!

Reviewed by: Yvonne, Merced, Ca, 2008/02/25

We got this for our teenage daughters (16 & 14) and they loved it. They said it was the best day of their lives. The driver was very friendly and gave us all the info on points of interest that we went past. My husband was returning a rental car that morning and it took much longer than expected, but the driver waited for him. The Royal Swim is a little pricey, but definitely worth the money for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Dolphin Encounter

Reviewed by: Julie, 2008/02/13

Being up close and personal with such a beautiful animal and to touch them and learn about them in more detail was well worth the cost. I would do it again.

My only complaint is that our bystanders could not get close enough to get any real good pictures. The only good pictures is the ones you could purchase from Sea Life Park.

My 10 year grandaughter said this activity was the best part of the entire trip. As for myself, the only negative was the cost of the food, which did not allow for refills on the soda.
