Experience both power and playfulness during your reserved swim with a bottlenose dolphin. Share a smile with your new friend, along with its force and grace, as you glide through the waves. It's the centerpiece of your visit and a once-in-a-lifetime thrill.

After swimming under a picturesque waterfall, you'll enter a series of free-flight aviaries that tower above you. Here you can touch, feed and get acquainted with hundreds of colorful tropical birds and other fascinating wildlife.

Feel a unique mixture of calm and captivation as you snorkel amid thousands of rays and exotic fish, and explore the splendor of coral reefs and grottos. It's an experience as vivid as the colors you'll encounter.

The exploration and enjoyment doesn't all occur outdoors. You'll also be treated to a delightful lunch that lets you eat light or dive right in. And browsing through our gift shop is an adventure in itself.
