Sea Life Park
Sea Life Park is a great place to view the dolphins. Yes, there are places on Oahu that you can see the dolphins while swimming in the wild but you in all likelihood will not get as close or be able to touch them in those conditions. The dolphins at Sea Life Park have been nurtured and cared for in this facility for years and it is obvious that they enjoy the setting. So many of the sea creatures are so fun to watch at Sea Life Park but none are quite as much fun as these playful dolphins. The Dolphin Cove Show is a real crowd pleaser. The dolphins will flip, jump and spin (often in unison) in this comfortable open-air theater. You'll have a great time here but it will also be educational as well. The Dolphin Encounter is another way to interact with dolphins at the park. This is particularly great for small children who would feel more comfortable in the shallow end of the pool while dolphins come up to mingle with them and perhaps even offer a kiss. Children here will learn about the friendliness and intelligence of the dolphins and will have tons of fun interacting with them. The next step up in terms of interacting with the dolphins more would be the Dolphin Swim Adventure. Here's your opportunity to fulfill your desire to swim with a dolphin. You'll be in the water with the dolphins for thirty minutes petting them, posing with them and learning to participate with them in a series of close encounter activities. Finally you'll also be able to participate in the Dolphin Royal Swim. Here's where you're fantasy's really come to life. You'll truly be able to swim with a pair of dolphins as you grab a hold of each of their dorsal fins as they take you for a ride across the pool. Not to be outdone by that encounter you will next be able to ride like "rocket man" across the pool as you are catapulted in the air from beneath by dolphins pushing you up by your feet. …
