I kept reading reviews - some good, some bad - the bad ones kept saying how Sea Life Park is so small that you can see it in 20 minutes, et al. BUT that is what we liked about it! We didn't miss anything. We saw the dolphin show, which was very good, we swam with the sea lions, which was very cool, got something to eat, etc. By the time you do everything and not have to rush doing it, it was exactly what we were looking for!

There was four of us in the group, two couples and we had a great time. You really get to interact with the Dolphins and feel their power. The trainers are great and very informative. Both the foot push and the dorsal fin ride are amazing and great fun!!!

We went all out on this one---we swam with the dolphins, the rays, and we did the sea trek! We loved all three! The staff was great, very friendly and helpful. The ray pool is a bit small and murky, but still stunning for being able to handle live rays! I'd say don't miss it if you can afford to go and do the encounters, do it do it do it! The only thing i'd warn about would be that the park is small, not much there to do if you don't do the special encounters.

We REALLY liked Sea Life Park and all their cool underwater creatures! Our whole family did the Dolphin Royal Swim and had a BLAST! We actually spent the whole day there. The weather was perfect, the guides were funny ... and educational, to boot. Took LOTS of pictures and would definitely do something like this again! We had such a great time in Hawaii!

This was one of the most enjoyable activities I took part in on my trip to Hawai'i. I absolutely loved it. The trainers and staff are almost as sweet as the dolphins. I was thoroughly impressed with the fact that no one was excluded from the activities based on size or age. If you signed up for it, you got to swim with dolphins. Ricky, one of the trainers, is entertaining even without the dolphins. It's like a comedy show and dolphin swim in one. He's hilarious! Great pictures at a reasonable price, and if you have someone to sit in the stands, they'll even let you take your own pics and videos. I highly recommend this activity. Oh, and if you do it, add on the ray encounter. Not many people do it, it only costs $15, and it's also very entertaining and informative.

We got this for our teenage daughters (16 & 14) and they loved it. They said it was the best day of their lives. The driver was very friendly and gave us all the info on points of interest that we went past. My husband was returning a rental car that morning and it took much longer than expected, but the driver waited for him. The Royal Swim is a little pricey, but definitely worth the money for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

The Dolphin Adventure was quite fun. The venue is a bit less than what I had imagined. (I was thinking more along the lines of SeaWorld-esque.) Though the staff was quite courteous and the facility was clean. This was a good first-time adventure with dolphins. Would not recommend eating at their food court.

The Royal Dolphin swim was excellent! The staff truly loved their job and the dolphins. We learned about the dolphins while in the water swimming around with them. Then everyone got to experience two rides, one of the rides was holding onto two dolphins fins as they pulled you around the pool and other WOW...was the same two dolphins coming up behind you and pushing on your feet while you fly in the air like superman. As far as the Ray encounter..I wouldn't do in again. The Ray's stayed in a shallow area while we stood out in the deep part of the pool. They gave us snorkel geer to look at the fish, but you can only do that for so long. As we walk back out we got to touch the Ray's before getting out of the water.The trainer that was with us just didn't seemed to like her job as much as the other trainers we encountered while at the park. I would do the enounter that you wear the head geer (for air) they seemed to get to touch Rays, turtles and see all the fish.

First, I just have to say there is nothing you can put into words to describe this experience. It's amazing. We chose the Royal Dolphin swim because I wanted two dolphins to swim with instead of one. I don't know if it made a difference but my husband said I never stopped smiling. I will say two things about this event. My husband is NOT a strong swimmer...so originally we were concerned about him going. I have to say, if you can't swim, you can still experience this. If you can dog paddle you should be fine. Everyone wears heavy duty life vests and floating is no problem even if you're a 220 lb man. So if you have concerns about that... DON'T let it stop you! The only other thing I will say is that we purchased the OUTRAGEOUSLY expensive DVD of our experience. I am a huge advocate of zoo's and aquariums and rarely feel as if the money I've spent is going to waste, however, this DVD was trash. I wasn't expecting much, but out of 2 DVD players and 2 laptops it will only play

I've always loved dolphins and now EVEN more. You have to try the ROYAL SWIM WITH THE DOLPHINS!!! By far, my favorite Hawaiian Acitity dot com activity of the trip!!! I'm not a good swimmer (can dog paddle) and wasn't sure about being in an 18-ft tank (1 M gallons of water with 3 dolphins). I had a life vest on. Awesome, awesome, awesome experience!! I touched, kissed, and posed with the dolphins. Other places in the world do that. But here you can lay on your belly, two dolphins swim up behind you and push your feet; it's like waterskiing by dolphins. I LOVED it!!!!!! Also, you float vertical in the water with your hands to your side and two dolphin swim to each side of you, sliding their fins into your hands and take you for a ride. Awesome experience, unique to Sea Life Park in Hawaii! I'd do it again in a heartbeat!!!! Try it! You'll love it!! Dolphins are fabulous creatures! And we bought a DVD of our experience so we can take it home and relive it again.
We also did the Sea T

The dolphin royal swim was excellent! I had an amazing time! It was worth every penny!
However, I did not appreciate the fact that my voucher stated the wrong pick-up time. As a result, I did not make it to the pick-up and ended up having to do the later session, which caused me to miss other plans I had for the day. In addition, I had to take a cab to and from Sea Life Park, as no shuttle transportation was available anymore.

Sea Life Park was very unique. Besides having the dolphins from the movie "50 FIRST DATES" the people and atmosphere is very unique. I would recommend to anyone that is going to the island of Oahu for the 1st 2nd or 3rd time. Very cool, and family friendly.

Kaleo and I had a great date the other day. He's such an astounding athlete, really energetic, a great swimmer, an amazing dancer, and just loves to give kisses! Granted his breath is rather fishy, his skin is quite rubbery, and his home is rather damp, but his million-dollar-smile completely won me over. What a treat it was since he is one of the best looking dolphins at Oahu's Sea Life Park!
Yup, I got to have a day of fun-in-the-sun with Sea Life Park's Dolphin Adventure and it was truly a wonderful experience. Not only did I get to see all of the marvelous marine creatures throughout the park, but I did one of the most in-depth interactive dolphin programs available in Hawaii.
After a short briefing, a small group of us were led to Dolphin Cove by a fabulous trainer. She immediately put us at ease as we made our way into the water and after telling us a couple of dos and don'ts, it was time to introduce ourselves to Kaleo. He is such a sweetheart and I had oodles of fun wit

My Mom and I went on the Sea Trek Adventure in April. We didn't know we would have to put on a wetsuit but it was totally worth it!!! It feels like you are scuba diving with so many sea creatures surrounding you. It was peaceful and exciting at the same time with the gentle manta rays gliding over your head and sea turtles swimming up to peer into your helmet! We even got to pet the silky belly of a GIANT Manta Ray - what an unforgettable experience!!!
