What a awesome day, although the park is not very big it was a full day of very close up experience. We got to pet a dolphins after the show and we payed to do the meet a seal for the kids witch they loved and we got some amazing photos. A experience they will always remember

We had an incredible time. I went with my two kids aged 8 and 11 and my nieces aged 16 and 19. We paid for a private experience feeding the penguins and watched all the shows. It was informative and wonderful to see how the centre is contributing to conservation. The cafe was also nicer than a normal basic kiosk with lots of outdoor seating.

I wanted a special experience to celebrate our family reuniting after 3 years' of covid separation,so I booked out both the dolphin experiences for the day we planned to visit. The staff were super helpful at orgainising the best combination to suit the ages and swimming experience of our participants. The experience was so relaxed, thrilling and memorable for my grandchildren, and they were fascinated by the educational information that was presented - future marine biologists in our family coming up! Our last session was after the park closed, but there was no rush to get us done and out of there, staff stayed and chatted and answered questions for quite a while after our time was up. There was also plenty of time to expore the rest of the park in between our sessions, and to catch most of the talks. You can see the genuine love and care that staff have for the animals. It was gratifying to know that we could have an ethical animal interaction and that they money paid was going to a worthy cause.

We paid for the shared shallow water dolphin experience but there was only the two of us so ended up being private! The trainer who we were with was brilliant and gave us lots of opportunities with Belle the dolphin. The park was great, although quite small they had regular informative talks about the park and the animals and it was obvious they were well looked after and the park was doing all the right things. This is something ticked off our bucket list!

Looking after regulars I would of thought was the norm however in this instance we have been overlooked. I’m speaking on behalf of 10 pensioners who meet regularly to drink coffee and discuss life etc....our beef is the cost of a coffee which has gone from $5.50 to $6.00. A lot for a brew in our minds.

It was very special personal experience with the dolphins. It was a relaxing small seating area so we were close to the dolphins and could view them really well. The trainers had great relationships with the dolphins and gave interesting informative commentaries.

We almost didn’t go as we had read the previous bad reviews, but are so glad we did go! We arrived in time for the turtle hospital, and saw the dolphin and seal show. We were happily surprised that we got to touch the dolphins and were impressed by the staff, their care of the animals and their knowledge in answering our many questions. The children around us were enjoying their experience. We thought it was worth the entrance fee.

I booked the Ultimate Dolphin Experience via the website. When I arrived at the marine park everybody was very friendly and I felt very welcome to the marine park. The dolphin experience started at 10am. I was lucky enough that I was the only person that booked the Ultimate Dolphin experience that day. I met up with Matt (the photographer) and he gave a little introduction. After the introduction I met Jemma (the trainer) and she introduced me to Bella (the dolphin). Jemma started with some rules I needed to follow. After that she asked Bella to come and swim next to me so that I could cuddle and pet her. Jemma told me almost everything she could about Bella. After the cuddling and petting we started with some exercises. Bella made a lot of different noises because of all different hand signals that Jemma was doing. Jemma showed me a hand signal to let Bella make a sort a barrel role in the air. The first time I did the hand signal wrong but the second time Bella understood immediately and performed the trick. What a sight to see! Next up I was given a body board and was told to lay down on it and put my feet straight behind me. Bella then came up and pushed me across the poule with amazing speed. She also pushed me back the whole way. Last up was a diving exercise. I got handed a ring and goggles and was told to throw the ring in the water for bella to retrieve. In the meantime I could swim next to bella and witness her amazing beauty underwater. Sadly this was the end of the session and Bella waved me goodbye. A really big thanks to Bella, Jemma and Matt for this amazing, once in a lifetime, opportunity!
