we did the behind the scenes(predators) w/the sharks and whales... it was about an hour long, very informative, and well done so that there was something for both adults and kids at every level. Our 'guide' was new, he told us at the end that it had been his first tour, but he obviously loved what he was doing and it showed~! We got to see the whales up really close, but the shark you get to pet is a baby, probably similar to what you'd find at your local aquarium if u have one. All in all, well worth the $ and time. We'll go again(tho do a different tour) next time we are down. I don't want to give the whole tour away, or you won't be surprised! But take your camera, you will have an opp for some great whale pics if the tour is the same for everyone!
