At Dolphin Marine Conservation Park we offer a range of incredible and unforgettable experiences that allow you to get up close
and form a personal bond with our friendly animals in a relaxed and intimate setting.
All of our experiences include around twenty minutes of actual contact time with our amazing animals where you will enjoy patting
and playing with them while you learn about your new friend's biology and conservation from an experienced Marine Mammal Specialist
who will also be happy to answer any questions you may have.
Our friendly photographers will also be there at each experience and will capture the special moment between you and your new animal
friend. Each animal experience at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park includes a professional photograph.
There is an animal experience available for all ages and ability levels, including shallow water encounters, interacting in the
water with seals and dolphins for more confident swimmers, a land based dolphin and seal encounter for guests who do not wish
to enter the water and the day long Trainer For A Day for guests who want to experience what life is really like for the Marine
Mammal Specialists who work at Dolphin Marine Conservation Park. Many of our programs even give you the option to book your
encounter as a private experience, ensuring you and your friends and family can share a private and intimate memory that will
last forever.
