We have wanted to go on the Secret Sea Safari since seeing it on the BBC a few years ago. We finally booked and all I can say is WOW!!! What an awesome experience. From the moment we arrived until we left, the staff were great. We truly enjoyed the whole experience and look forward to other trips.

So many people have reviewed this and 99% appear to agree, not a lot to add! We did the seal trip... took us about 3 days for it to run, can't knock their safety mesures and finally managed it just before we headed home. Great trip, my 16 year old daughter loved the "Rollercoaster" feel of it...especially on the way... More
