All inclusive! Everything was provided. Souch to do in one beautiful place. Booked all my experiences early so I could time them to my liking and arrived early.

πŸ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families seeking a premium, unhurried nature-focused day. Dolphin swims have minimum age and height requirements β€” confirm before booking. Young children particularly love the aviary. Book as far in advance as possible; daily capacity sells out weeks ahead during peak season.

ℹ️ What to Know Before You Go

πŸ’‘Book your dolphin swim time slot early in the day to front-load the main experience and relax afterward
⏰Avoid renting daybeds β€” multiple reviewers report they are uncomfortable; standard lounge chairs are complimentary
🎟️Confirm dolphin swim age and health requirements at booking β€” restrictions apply for young children and pregnant guests
