Sea Life Park - Dolphin Encounter
Sea Life Park is the place to come to experience amazing encounters. Learn about the intriguing world of dolphins with Dolphin Encounter. From a waist deep platform, guests observe the dolphins while they perform high-energy behaviors. Dolphins play, kiss and even "dance" with the participants! For those guests that feel comfortable, the program also offers the opportunity to move off the platform into the slightly deeper water. Participants enjoy some fun activities while swimming with the dolphins. Photos with your dolphins are available for purchase weather permitting.
Sea Life Park admission is included in the price of this activity. Sea Life Park is a world-class marine attraction perched between the majestic Koolau Mountain Range and breathtaking Makapu’u Beach. See dolphins dance, sea lions sing and penguins perform in this magical place by the sea!
