As the description implies, this performance features bottlenose dolphins that showcase their skill sets and grace for you. You will see them jumping high in the air and do flips and tricks mid jump. They will also swim upside down with their flukes in the air, waving them back and forth showcasing their great balance. The trainers will ride on the backs of the dolphins and have them come up on land and strike a pose for the audience. The dolphin will bask in the attention given him and will perform the grand finale with the rest of the dolphins and display their amazing coordination and discipline as they jump high in the air in perfect synchronization.
Another performance to see is the sea lion and rough tooth dolphin show really brings two creatures that, though sometimes not really associated with one another, give an amazing and beautiful performance. The performance will start with them coming out of the water and greeting each other with a kiss. They will jump high in the air in order to reach their trainer and touch their noses to the trainer’s hand, as they gracefully slip back under the water and circle each other in support and joy of your applauding and cheering. You will get to play ball with them and as a grand finale, will jump high in the air, doing flips, in perfect synchronization.
This park is very unique in that it not only showcases the marine life, but also exotic birds and even dogs. The dogs will perform tricks on stage for your viewing and entertainment, so that you don’t miss that little taste of home in such a different land surrounded by water animals. The birds will also perform an interactive show in which they perform daring stunts and go greet members of the audience.
Other members of the animal kingdom that also make an appearance are the reptiles. You will get to see performances with alligators, lizards, and snakes. And to make sure these animals do not bore you, special appearances also are made by tarantulas and toads. They also offer a magic show to really give you that extra layer of illusion and beauty to the entire trip.
You will also have the opportunity to see how scuba diving is done and explore the sea floor and underwater life.
