    This was a really fun and special experience. All of the staff were highly informed on the seals, their personalities and needs. It truly felt like they loved sharing the experience with us. The seals were so calm and playful, it was really magical to watch them interact. 10/10 recommend!!

    Swimming with the seals, just awesome!!!

    Julia 8 September 2019

    What a great experience. Full entry to Sea Life. Great exhibitions, unfortunately too early for the new proposed penguin enclosure. (still under construction). The seal show was brilliant. Then on with the wet suite and into the water for an experience to remember. That topped with a photo with a star seal and many more action shots to purchase afterwards. Highly recommended.

    Unique and beautiful

    Tammy 1 March 2019

    What a lovely experience to swim in crystal blue waters and see seals whizzing past you at their leisure. We got to play tug of war with a seal and swim around the pool with her while she tugged you along! It was so special. I truly enjoyed this experience. Anyone who wants something different and interactive experience I'd reccomend this. The staff were friendly and approachable. The photo opportunity was better than I expected, the seal was sitting on my lap for one! Fantastic

    Swimming with the seals was amazing

    Jiordyn 27 February 2019

    This experience was amazing! The seals were so cute and amazing and the staff were super friendly and happy to answer all our questions. You can tell that the staff really care about their rescue seals and don’t force them to do anything they don’t want to do. Would recommend :)

    Lets start with the friendly staff from point of entry to the sales on leaving, all of them friendly and willing to help with everything. The swim with seals was mind blowing as we never thought it would be as up close and personal as it was. The education behind it was fascinating as well. Educational and fun what more do you want.

    Sealed It

    What are you waiting for? To start the experience we watched the seal show which was informative and entertaining. Following the show we went back of house to learn about the feeding habits and more about how the seals came to the aquarium. Finally the moment.......provided with wetsuits (which you might prefer for the cool water plus helps you stay buoyant) we’re into the pool swimming and playing with the seals. We spent at least 20 minutes in the water with these amazing animals. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable, adding to the whole experience. Go now, seal the deal!

    This experience was a gift and it was fabulous. We really enjoyed our swim with the seals. The staff were helpful and friendly and the seals themselves were great.

    Swimming with seals was spectacular

    Amanda 8 April 2018

    The experience was great, the ladies were amazing and informative. The guy who was in the pool was not interested in talking to us, I asked a question he gave a very short direct answer and never spoke to us again. Except for one of the trainers sister who was in the experience he chatted to her gave her toys to play with the seals, so that was a disappointing.
