    Great experience until the end-scam artists with pictures

    Why would it cost someone $89 dollars for 3 pictures. It's such a rip-off. The experience itself was great. And I would definitely recommend looking at the different experiences. I noticed a lot of people didn't swim with the dolphins but just interacted with them....More

    Choose your type of Dolphin experience

    2nd time I've been to this facility. Very friendly staff and the place is well maintained. If you order your tickets online in advance you will get a discount, but make sure what you are buying is what you want.

    Yes, you can and if I’m mistake it’s $30. I believe they charge that since unlimited food and drinks is included as well. Hope I help answer your question, I was just there on March 27, 2018.
