Sea Lion Encounter and Water Park
After arriving at the Aquaventuras Water Park, check in for your Sea Lion Encounter and Aquaventuras Water Park adventure. Meet the funny sea lions and their curious behaviors, which are sure to make you smile all the way home!
During this joyous family program, you will be able to meet and interact with these cute marine mammals. You will start with a briefing about the sea lion and an explanation of the activities you will experience. You will then enter the water on a submerged platform from which you'll be able to interact with the sea lions, including the very popular kiss and hug. You will learn about their diet and get to feed and pet them.
Each session is one hour, with 30 minutes of swim time. The group size is limited to 10 people to ensure that you have a very personal experience.
Professional photographers will capture these magical moments for you on video and stills, which will be available for sale.
The Sea Lion Encounter includes admission to the Aquaventuras Water Park to ensure a fun-filled, action-packed day. Guests not participating in the encounter can gain access to the park by paying the admission fee into the park upon arrival.
Please Note: The tour duration is for the dolphin interaction only. It does not include time at the water park, as this is on your own, or the time required to transfer to and from the park.
