Seaworld Questions

[Mills]

Hello,

If we want to do the following in seaworld, can we just sort it once we are entering the park or does it need to be booked in advance. Also is it possible to do these 3 in one day, as well as the rest of the park, shamu show etc.

Behind the scenes dolphin trip

Behind the scenes trip were you touch a dolphin

Shark dive

Thanks

Whilst there are Dolphin/Shark 'experiences' at Sea World you cannot actually swim with them here.
The nearby sister park Discovery Cove is really the place where you can swim with the Dolphins.

There are shows at intervals throughout the day, such as Shamu etc , all the attractions are free once you are inside the park.

see here for more details:

I would imagine that the Tours at SW are similar to the ones at Disney and that you would have to book them in advance.

Yeah we are planning on doing DC for the dolphin swim, but heard there is some sort of Dolphin thing at SW? Which is an extra $40?

Also $150 for a shark encounter? In a cage lowered into the water?

Just wanted to know if you could do the tours in the same day as well as doing the rest of the park/shows etc. Or we would need 2 days there.

Sorry, not aware of these - maybe you could post in the Sea World forum?

There is a review of the Dolphin Nursery Tour here http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1123299&highlight=tours

and one of the Shark Deep Dive http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1077951&highlight=shark

I think you would struggle to do both tours and enjoy a day at Seaworld.

I think we'll try and do the shark tour, 2 hours and maybe the tour were you stroke the penguins. But would there be enough time to take in some shows there too?

Do you mean the Adventure Express Tour? see description below.
If you do then this is a 6 hour tour we booked it same morning we did it but that was October when its quieter. You do see 2 shows in this tour with reserved seating.
Do you have annual pass? if not its a very expensive day paying for 2 tours on top of admission.
