Description

Observe Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions in their natural habitats on Blue Lagoon Island from a viewing area that allows you to stay dry. After sailing to the nearby island on a double-decker catamaran, you will enjoy an orientation on the marine creatures that live here. The introduction will make viewing them all the more pleasurable, as you will understand quite a bit about the animals’ behavior, especially when interacting with humans. Dolphins and sea lions aren’t shy so you can expect to watch them frolicking with just about everyone that enters their water habitat. You will be nearby but on an elevated viewing platform that prevents you from getting wet. At each of the program areas you can take your own photos or videos from the public dock areas. However, please be advised that an unobstructed view of all dolphin interactions is not guaranteed, and observers are not allowed on the platforms at any time.

When you are finished observing, feel free to meander about and enjoy the island’s other amenities.
