Advantages: Animals, activities

Disadvantages: None

I was backpacking round Australia and when it was my 21st birthday there was one thing I wanted to do - Swim with dolphins at Sea World.

I booked their Backstage Experience and made the journey to the park, I had only seen dolphins from a distance at North Stradbroke so when I saw my first dolphin up close I felt like a child again and couldn't wait to be in the water with them. I was directed to the place where you get the weatsuits (which were surprisingly comfortable) and met up with the others.

We were taking up to the tower where they do the voiceovers during the show and got to see all the controls, we then watched a show which was breathtaking. Once everyone was gone that was when we got to go in the water.
We were told about the dolphins and what the park does and the day was made complete when we were allowed to swim with them - not something that the park often does!

Sea World is a fantastic place to visit and truly magical.

Summary: Great day out for anyone of any age.
