Description

Interact with a group of friendly affectionate sea lions that love to spend their time playing with people in the water. A short catamaran ride will bring you to Blue Lagoon Island, also known as Salt Cay, where your adventure will begin with an enlightening introduction to sea lions. The ones here are California sea lions, whose range extends far beyond America’s west coast. These sleek marine creatures can swim up to 25 miles per hour using their powerful flippers. As you will discover after easing onto a submerged platform in the enclosed sea lion habitat, they are also extraordinarily friendly and inquisitive. During the encounter, you will have the chance to feed and even hug the sea lions as they frolic among your group. You can expect a highly personalized experience, as your group will be limited to 10 or fewer guests.
