Sea Life Park Hawaii offers you a fantastic opportunity to get up close and personal with dolphins, the ocean's favorite resident. You can choose from three different dolphin activities, perfect for all ages, budgets and levels of confidence. Entrance is included so you are free to explore the other attractions at the park before or after your dolphin swim.
All programs include an orientation session followed by 30-minutes of supervised interaction with Sea Life Park Hawaii's lovable dolphins. Choose from:
Royal Swim (minimum age 8 years, minimum height 4 feet / 1.2 meters):
The most popular Swimming with Dolphins program, the Royal Swim
includes a foot push, where dolphins push your feet from below to
propel you full speed across the water's surface. Enjoy the ride as you
hold on to the dorsal fins of two dolphins for a ride through the
water. This is in addition to a welcome kiss from your adorable
playmates.
Swim Adventure (minimum age 8 years, minimum height 4 feet / 1.2 meters):
The dolphin greets you with a kiss on the cheek and a handshake, giving you a sense of closeness to this beautiful creature. Relax as you hold on to the dolphin's dorsal fins for a belly-ride around the water, a truly unique experience! Pet the dolphin, pose for a big dolphin kiss and perform various close contact interactions. Put on your snorkel and mask to see the dolphins as they speed and spiral through the water below you, demonstrating their amazing agility
Encounter Program (minimum age 1 year):
Great for small
children and those who don't want to venture into deep water, the
Encounter program offers the chance to interact with friendly dolphins
from a waist deep platform. You'll have the opportunity to hug and kiss
the dolphin who will respond with a friendly kiss on the cheek! Watch
the dolphins as they perform a series of amazing tricks and marvel at
their astonishingly entertaining behavior.
