Sea Lion Encounter

Sea Lion Encounter

We hereby invite you to meet our most adorable and enchanting sea lions on our Sea Lion Encounter tour. Learn about their physiology, behavior, and much more, before you get into the water to meet them "in person." You will never forget the fun of interacting and playing with a sea lion! 

With this tour, we want to take you into the world of the sea lions. Be enchanted and intrigued by this amazing marine mammal! We promise you that you will never look at a sea lion the same way after participating in our Sea Lion Encounter tour. Learn about their behavior and physiology, shake hands with them, and have fun watching them interact with you. You will be surprised! 

Our professional trainers will share their expertise about sea lions and how to train them to help you understand their behavior and mannerism. After this educational segment by the poolside, you will get into the water to meet the sea lions up close. You will safely stand in waist-deep water and interact with our sea lions through handshakes, petting their smooth skin, and perhaps even a kiss or two! 

Watch as they come close to greet you, be entertained by their tricks, honks, and barks. And be amazed by their agility, friendliness, and intelligence. Make sure you purchase your personalized photo afterwards!
