Animal Adventures

Overview

The Child Dolphin Aqua Adventure program offers guests a once-in-a-lifetime experience of meeting some of Sea World's dolphins. During this program participants are given an educational talk and shown a number of varied dolphin behaviours whilst experiencing either a shallow water or submersed platform encounter with a Sea World dolphin. Each guest will have their photograph taken by a Sea World photographer. Program duration is approximately 45 minutes with approximately 20 minutes in the water.

Each experience is unique based upon the guests, trainers and animals.

The Child Dolphin Aqua Adventure program is available for guests aged five to 13 years of age and a minimum height of 110cm at a cost of $140.00* per child, which includes one souvenir photograph and DVD capturing your unique experience.

What better way to capture your once-in-a-lifetime experience than with a souvenir DVD? Your souvenir DVD is included and features footage of you getting up close and personal with Sea World’s wonderful marine life. Take your experience home to relive again and again. 

The use of a supplied wet suit or rash vest and board shorts is required in all water-based programs and is included in the cost of the program. Sizes range from XS to 7XL. Should your size requirements not be met, please contact Guest Services to make other arrangements. Swimwear must be worn underneath wet suits or rash vests and board shorts. A deposit of a driver's license or credit card swipe will be required.

For the safety of the animals we do not permit jewellery to be worn on any Animal Adventures program.

Dolphin Aqua Adventure programs are available 7 days a week and have approximately 15 participants per program. Approximate participant to animal ratio is 6:1.

Please note that the Dolphin Aqua Adventure - Child program takes place at a different time and location to the Adult program.
