Dolphin experience was awesome

Kelly 2 February 2025

Well worth the money. Interacting with 2 dolphins- we patted, swam, played with them. There was also learning more about the dolphins and we could have questions answered.

Dolphin deep water adventure

Sandra 2 November 2023

The experience was awesome. Booking it through Red Balloon was terrible, almost missed out. I redeemed my voucher and paid the extra required. When I went to check in Sea World had no booking, spent ages on the phone, got cut off, called again, finally it all worked out, not impressed with the booking process of Red Balloon

Swimming with dolphins

Tori 26 June 2023

I got to swim with the dolphins for my 21st and it was the best experience I've ever had

Deepwater swimming with the dolphins

Rita 18 June 2023

Got the Seaworld animal experience for our son. It was informative, active and interesting! He really enjoyed it! The staff were amaizing and had a great knowledge of dolphins. The only negative is that Seaworld should include at least one printed photo in the price. We ended up paying an extra $65 for the photo package. It is great though!

Dolphin swim

Naomi 21 October 2022

Howie the dolphin was friendly, happy and extremely well trained. He loved the attention and the pats. I’m a very hands on person so to be able to touch him was awesome.

Could do this over and over again!

Nat 10 February 2022

Honestly this was one of the most amazing experiences! We got to swim, touch and make the dolphin do tricks ! The trainer who took us out was super attentive, we all got to have a go with the dolphin. They are so well looked after there, honestly, those dolphins are treated like royalty and they thrive. Would do this over and over again! Simply captivating

Fabulous experience

Deb 8 February 2021

Absolutely great experience up close and personal with Hughey the dolphin. Please be aware when you buy this gift you also have to purchase entry to SeaWorld for you and everyone you want to share the experience with - that’s $90 per person on top ☹️
