Good
Reviewed by: Erin, 2012/01/02This was a unique and fun experience, I did this to try and get over my fear of rays, and not sure if it worked but I did have a good time. Bit disappointed that they don't do photos for this activity as it would have been nice to have as a keepsake but taking into account everything I am glad I chose this one.

dolphin encounter
Reviewed by: Hillary kostka, 2011/10/20This was a chance of a lifetime for me and my daughter. The staff experience and hospitality was some of the best on Oahu. Spoke english, Japeneese, and Hawaiian. Very informative. The only thing was that the price was pretty steep for the park as a whole if you didn't have any encounter activities planned. Would love to do it again.

Sea Life Park/Dolphin Swim
Reviewed by: CRJ, 2011/07/14Great program. Daughter and I really enjoyed interacting and swimming with the dolphins. The trainers are very knowledgeable. The various shows at the park were also great. Family really enjoyed the afternoon. Good use of a afternoon on Oahu. The only downside is the price - - - it is a little expensive.

Definitely see the shows
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2011/01/13This was our first time to the Sea Life Park, and if it had not been for the dolphin, and sea lion shows this was would have been a busted trip for us. We did not participate in the dolphin swims, and after our tour bus dropped us off at the park, we walked around to see the different exhibits. Given the number of exhibits (which you can find more of a zoo) we were finished within an hour. We were very disappointed until the individual shows began. This saved this trip for us.

Sea Life Park
Reviewed by: The Bean's, 2010/12/25Overall it was a good experience. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Had a great time swimming with the Dolphins and the Sea Lions. But was a little disappointed in the Ray experience. Did not have much time with them and their pond was fairly dirty, but their handler was extremely nice. Would definitely recommend the Dolphin and Sea Lion experiences, but not sure we would do the Rays again.

Royal Dolphin Swim
Reviewed by: Barbara Faulkner, 2010/11/18I had a great time at Sea Life Park doing the Royal Dolphin Swim with Carly as my guide. This is something I have always wanted to do and I felt like a little kid again. Since we've been home, we've discovered that the movie "50 First Dates" was filmed at Sea Life Park and we enjoyed seeing where we were on the movie. Carly was awesome! The dolphins were incredible!!! My only complaint is that is wasn't long enough. Would highly recommend.

Park a Little Run Down
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/08/04The swimming with the dolphins was great. The rest of the park seemed kind of run down. They need to run the shows more often. We missed the main show because it was only shown while we were swimming with the dolphins. Kind of pricey. Guess I was expecting Sea World quality.

Sealife Park
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/07/13It was a wonderful adventure for our grandchildren They loved it. The park has only a small storage area with a single use key. We put everything in it, then realized the camera was in it. Not worth another $2.00 to get it out and cameras were not allowed in the water. Pretty much forced you to buy their pictures at $16.00 a pop if you wanted any memories. Activities did not start on time. We were under time constraints and it was pretty tight.
Everyone was very friendly but time was not a consideration for them,

Dolphin activity
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2010/06/10The activity was fun but the dolphin trainers were rushing the whole time. There were six people in the pool with the trainers and everything felt very rushed. It would have been nicer to just learn and enjoy rather than "go here, now go there!"

Loved the dolphins
Reviewed by: Palakea, 2009/11/25Loved the dolphins. Got to get a kiss, but the price of the pics was outrageous. Best to take pics yourself.

Royal pass equals lots of fun
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2009/07/03This tour was very enjoyable, we had friendly drivers picking us up & drop us at the hotel and they made an effort to get you all excited and made you feel like you were really on holiday.
The park itself was great, its small but with all the tours and activities with the Royal pass, time flew and then it was closing time. Everything on the tour was a magical experience, starting with playing with a sea lion, to the ray fish, to riding with the dolphins and seeing the first ever crossbreed of a whale/dolphin. absoultey great and an unforgetable day. Truely worth spending the money for the royal pass as you really do get to play and ride the dolphins. The only disappointment was that we spend alot of money paying for the DVD and photos of us with the dolphins and not all the different rides with the dolphins were captured by the photographer and camera person. They were really disinterested and most of the time on their cell phone instead of paying attention to capture people's first

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.

Dolphin Swim Adventure
Reviewed by: BoiseNP, 2008/08/18My 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.

Sea Life Park
Reviewed by: Bz, 2008/03/17Sea 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.

Dolphan Interaction
Reviewed by: Diane Schwartz, 2008/01/11My 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.

Dolphins!!!
Reviewed by: Caroline Jacobson, 2007/08/28Hello everybody! My family and myself will always have the best memories with our experience with the most beautiful animal existing : The dolphin.
My only comment not too positive will be for the welcome we have received by the staff there. Very cold, arrogant except for only ONE trainer: Jennifer! thanks Jen for your kindness on my son's birthday! otherwise the rest of the staff NEEDS really to be improved...thank God that the experience makes it bearable.
We will come back because what is the most important??? The dolphins!....and believe me...their attitude was much more pleasant and kind and sweet than the humans there ;-))
I recommend to all the experience - this will stay for all my family the greatest memories in Hawaii.
Aloha!!

Royal Swim
Reviewed by: Amy R., 2007/06/07I took part in the dolphin royal swim and it was awesome! The only thing I would change, is that it would be better if it was not so structured and we had more time to just swim around with the dolphins.
