Swimming with the dolphins and seeing the wholphin was an amazing experience however, it is not necessary to spend an entire day there. We got to the park around 9:15am and swam with the dolphins an hour later. After that, we were scheduled to leave at 2:30pm but by about 11:30am, we were ready to go. I wish we would... more

My 2 daughters and I took the bus from Waikiki. It cost 75$ to get in and the place was run down with not much to see. The only thing you could touch was a snail in the explore area. The tank you walk around upon entry was a bit dirty. Nothing in there that's not in the Atlanta Aquarium.... more

Okay, so we have read some of the brutal reviews for Sea Life Park and we want to share our experience and set the record straight. There is a lot of misinformation in these reviews because people simply refuse to do their homework or are simply not paying attention to what is offered and for how much. That said, our... more

First of all, I have lived in Oahu for 2 years as a child some 40 years ago. So, this was a bit of a home coming for me. I decided to visit Sea Life Park because I enjoyed it as a kid. However, being much older now, I found the attraction a bit of a waste of my time... more

The drive to Sea Life Park on Oahu in itself was an adventure! The landscape coming from the south was breath-taking. The park isn't terribly large, but the attractions there were numerous. We were able to see many different types of sea life in such a small area and not tire our feet out. We chose to have an encounter... more

This is a place we really wanted to visit while we were on the island, but never in all of the information that we read about it, did we see anywhere how much it cost just to get in. When we got there, the first thing they do is charge you $4.00 to park. No problem. But when we walked... more

The drive to Sea Life Park is amazing. I enojyed it as much as the park itself. The staff was friedly except for one lady. Our goal for visiting the park was for my wife to the enjoy the Dolphin Swim Adventure. We arrived at the park a bit before her scheduled swim and got to see the dolphin show... more

This park is NO Sea World and they are very sneaky and under handed in their advertising of specials and the rules arround them. Their latest ripoff is the Dolphin Encounter on your birthday. It only appliles to local residents but they don't tell you that until they have your whole family sucked in and you have paid your money... more

Maunlanders must understand that there is not the room on such a small island to go all out like seaworld! Considering the space and funding( not comercialized like sea life park) this is a great place. You can have hands on expireiences with aquatic animals in a safe environment. Many of the turtles have been rehabilitated at this facility and... more

We were looking so forward to doing our Dolphin encounter. When we arrived the water areas were not clean. We have been to Disney and Sea World, so we expected something along the lines of that. We were very disappointed in how the environments for the sea life was kept. The dolphin encounter was OK, but not great. The ladies... more
