I did the Royal Dolphin swim, it was awesome, and I would recommend it to anyone. The Dolphin show was really good as well. The park was a little dated and could have done with a bit of an overhaul. There was definitely not enough to keep you going for more than 3 hours, so it was lucky that there... More

i paid the 29.99 admission price.. totally not worth the price... there is only one dolphin show and one sea lion show... there needs to be additional shows to warrant the admission price. the location scenery is beautiful.... watching the other people with their dolphin experiences is enjoyable...the food was ok, the dole whip was excellent... there was not enough...

This attraction is definitely over priced! We had military discount tickets from ITT/MWR $12.00 per adult. Regular admission was $29.99 plus tax. Sure glad that we didn't pay those prices. If you have ever been to SeaWorld Orlando, SeaWorld San Diego, or SeaWorld San Antonio, save your money and see these attractions in the future. Well worth the money. This... More

We enjoyed the display's at the park. Bathrooms were readily available and the food was reasonably priced and very good. The dolphin show was free and the best show I have ever been to. Plus the back ground was the Pacific ocean and Rabbit Island made for beautiful pictures. We were disappointed in that we didn't actually get to "swim"... More

Participated in the 30 minute Dolphin Encounter. LOVED IT!! This was my favorite part of my vacation to Hawaii. Only $104.99 with park admission included. Have never found a Dolphin Encounter package this inexpensive. Definitely recommend.

Several days ago my granddaughter Chanzy celebrated her 7th Birthday and was looking forward to her wish come true: to "swim" with a real dolphin at Sea Life Park in Waimanalo, Oahu. My daughter signed up for her "Birthday Party" package -- party of 15, a special tour of the Park's many displays and a pizza lunch, with "dolphin experience"... More

This was the one thing that I really wanted to do on our trip. I would recommend if you have never swam with the dolphin to try it. The park it self needed some work which they appeared to be working on. There was a wonderful dolphin show that we really enjoyed but the rest of the park was just... More

Great little park. Not busy or over crowded. Great sea animals and little shows to watch. You don't need a whole day here...a couple hours will do it. don't miss feeding the sea turtles, the touch pond, and the seal feeding!

We have a 4 year old son and he really enjoyed all the time spent there. We didn't take the ticket for swim with dolphin.. and we regretted that so badly!!! the interactive session was really really good... we stood by and saw it. My son loved the turtle tank, and feeding sessions... also the sea lion show... it was... More
