We loved our experience with the sea Lions and it was worth the value. We did it through our cruise ship excursion desk and really enjoyed it.

In fairness, my rating of the sea lion encounter is probably lower because of doing the dolphin swim first. The dolphin swim was so fantastic that the sea lion encounter just didn't live up to it. The sea lions were really cute and seemed well cared for, but they didn't seem to enjoy the interaction in the same way that... More

This was a great experience to interact with the very friendly, intelligent and playful sea lions. We have done dolphin experiences before but this was something new and very, very good. We were due to be with one of the older sea lions but she wasn't in the mood and the staff do not pressure the animals in to anything... More

We waited over an hour after our scheduled time. The experience itself was nice for the kids but it was disorganized. They loved interacting with the animals. The staff just seemed a little on the lazy side.

Water was cold but we were given wet suits and got in the water and got to meet and greet some friendly sea lions. Enjoyed the experience.

I am not one for live animals but my girlfriend really wanted to this and I am glad I did... I could forgo ever feeding a sea lion again but all in all being in the water with one and hugging one was an awesome time. The people who work there are really comforting and friendly and their is an... More

There were 8 people booked on this experience which was just right. The guide was excellent, showing us around the food prep area and the medical research centre, all very organised and well maintained. Our experience with Cassy the sea lion was such a treat. She had a fantastic rapport with her trainer and we all got to cuddle her,... More

We were in Nassau for 4 days, we decided to go to Blue Lagoon in order to do the Sea Lion program. The ferry was scheduled to go to Blue Lagoon at 10h30, but it departed at 10h50, same with the return shift. Only this made us lose 1hr of touring. Sea Lion program is about 15 min of theory... More
