We took our two granddaughters; we absolutely LOVED it. Their favorite exhibit was the sea lion show.

My kids and I LOVED IT! This is the closest we’ve ever been to dolphins and getting up and close and getting splashed and it being part of general admission was amazing!! We loved everything about this place!

Amazing!!

It was Wonderful. We enjoyed touching and feeding the dolphins. I definitely recommend this experience.

Day of Dolphins

I loved the dolphin experience, we were up close and personal. We got to feed the siphon a fish, learned and gave some hand signs and loved on the dolphin. Next time we would love to try an even longer experience!!! The staff was friendly and knowledgeable too.

Excellent

Purchased this experience for my grandson and his family.  They were beyond excited when they realized they would be interacting with dolphins.  An experience they will remember forever.

Meet the charming flightless birds of the sea at Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park with this Discover Penguins experience!...

The one on one encounter with the  penguins was priceless. Having a one on one with the penguin handler and hearing about where they come from their habits, their diet and their interactions with each other as well as their human handlers was very interesting. Being able to pet them and feed them, it was beyond exciting. Money well spent if we visit again I think will do the very same with the dolphins my son thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience as didI. I highly recommend it.

Penguin Encounter

It was a lot fun. My only complaint was that we had to pay for photos. It's 26 a piece for general admission, 48 a piece for penguins, and then another 40 dollars for photos. I think after 150.00 already spent they could throw in the photos for free. Especially since you can't take your own photos on a personal device.

Penguins!!!!

My grandkids and I all had a great time, the shows were entertaining .

I loved the interaction as well as the friendly and knowledgeable staff.

Loved it!

Out of the encounters I did, this one was by my far my favorite! Milo was just the cutest and seemed so happy to be with us. We learned a lot about him and how to care for our environment to make sure the wild animals are safe and can live long life like him. I would 10/10 recommend this encounter.

Milo is the cutest

This was an unreal experience! Seals are such beautiful and smart animals, and I’m so glad I got to meet Milo and his son Ollie. The trainers showed off how intelligent these animals were by showing us basic tricks. Most of these tricks are learned as ways to make it easier for the trainers to care for them whether it’s brushing their teeth or having them get into specific positions to check their health. This was such a memorable experience, and I’m so grateful I was able do it.

UNREAL!

Really enjoyed the experience.  Did not realize we also had to pay to get into the park to just go to the turtle encounter so thought it was a little pricy since we could not stay for several hours.  However we were able to catch the dolphin exhibit and it was fantastic.

My daughter (16), my son (5) and myself all enjoyed this encounter. I really liked how educational it was, it was not just about the interaction with the animal but also a teaching moment. We definitely recommend it!

Fun for all ages

The Dolphin & Sunset Cruise was a truly worthwhile experience. We had the pleasure of witnessing numerous dolphins in their natural habitat. The crew provided exceptional service, and the pilot was outstanding—graciously inviting us into the radio room and capturing photos of us as if we were steering the cruise ourselves. It was an unforgettable and enjoyable experience.

Best Experience

Saw lots of dolphins.  Staff were great. Would recommend.

Great cruise

Not going to lie.  I was absolutely mad when they canceled my 10 hr deep sea fishing trip the night before because of lack of people who wanted to go.   They offered a 6 hour trip instead with a refund for the remaining of the balance.  

Once we got on the boat and got out to sea we got straight on the fish!  We had a wonderful time and everyone on the boat got to go home with at least the 2 red snappers that was the limit.   

Next time I come to town I’ll be going out with them again!!!!!

Awesome trip
