Small park big experiences
Reviewed by: Marcy, 2016/03/23I had read many reviews of the Sea Life park before committing. I wasn't sorry we pulled the trigger. I am an avid animal person and have spent a lot of money for various encounters at much larger establishments. Is it Sea World? No. Is it a big park? No. However, it was well organized, the staff were very friendly, educational and accommodating. And, what a beautiful setting!! There was construction going on which closed things in a bit, but the park was well maintained and while enclosures were on the smaller side, their animals were clearly loved and very stimulated and happy in comparission to other encounters I've experienced. You got to be part of animal training with the trainers which was interesting. The aviary was great fun and the touch pool was a nice interactive feature. Penguins--adorable! Only negatives: Food was so-so (but adequate), pictures are expensive at $18 per photo with no total package option. I was a little disappointed that the encounters were very geared towards photo poses for photo sales. Would prefer a less orchestrated experience with natural photos. We booked our package experience through Veltra and purchased the Royal dolphin, sea lion and stingray adventure at a good discount. Veltra was awesome and SO accommodating. My husband and I took our 9 year old niece. She loved every minute and thus far, it has been her favorite part of our vacation. The Royal swim was worth the extra money in my opinion. The sea lion encounter was fun and educational. The sting ray encounter was my least favorite (I've had better ray encounters), but still a good first snorkel opportunity for our niece. We really enjoyed our time at the park and appreciate the efforts of the trainers and staff who clearly love and care for their animals like family. Through their efforts to educate they teach others to love them as well. Keep up the great work!

Dolphin Adventure
Reviewed by: Wanona Johnson, 2012/10/20The experiece was awesomwe. The only thing I would have liked is a smaller crowd and age seperation. In our group ages raged from 4 years to 60 years. My graddaughter could not see what was going on because she was so small and adults were i front of her. Overall a great experience.

Nice locartion
Reviewed by: Mr. Anonymous, 2012/10/14Alot samller than what I thought it would be. Pretty expensive for the short duration you get with the dolphins. The pictures and video are verypricey. Irf you are the type of person that only wants to go here to show off to your friends and family back home that you "swam" with a dolphin, and pay hundreds of dolars for it, then this place is for you. The dolphin and sea lion show are ok. Nothing like Sea World. If you really want to interact with dolphins in their natural habitat, I suggest you take either the snorkeling or scuba tour to see the dolphins. I believe it would be a lot cheaper.

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.

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.
