Hawaii Sea Life Park
Interact with amazing marine creatures like dolphins, sharks, rays, and more
First opened on the shores of Waimanalo in 1964, Sea Life Park has since attracted tourists globally for the experience of seeing daily marine conservation work firsthand. The park is the greatest attraction in the state that doesn’t only provide fun and leisure, but also engaging knowledge about ocean environments.
Sea Life Park is Hawaii focused exhibits where visitors can learn about and witness the native Hawaii marine creatures, like Hawaiian green sea turtle, reef fish, and monk seal. The park is built on an intricate, specialized, flow-through water system drawing from the ocean through seawater wells that allow the water to be filtered through naturally occurring lava rock and sand before it reaches the animal habitats. The fresh seawater in each exhibit, hence, imitates the species’ natural environments.
The park also provides Animal Encounters for the visitors to get up close and interact with a range of sea creatures: sea lions, dolphins, and Hawaiian reef sharks. Additionally, focusing on conservation, Sea Life Park is a home for endangered animals and those with complex medical conditions. Hence, Seabird Sanctuary, Honu Conservation Program, and refuge for rescued sea lions are established. This is why the visitors, while here, don’t only get enjoyment, but also education; the park has a variety of presentations, talks, and performances as additional resources about underwater organisms and ecosystems. Leaving the park, you’ll carry away memories and a shared mission for marine life.
