OCEAN WORLD ADVENTURE PARK

In addition to a show and water leisure centre, this complex has a marina with 100 berths, a restaurant, a discotheque and a casino. This vast marine and animal park offers, through various programs, encounters with dolphins, sea lions and sharks. The visit of the aquariums populated with rays, sharks and other tropical fishes starts the excursion. You can also snorkel in an aquarium. A couple of tigers laze around in a huge enclosure and let themselves be photographed at feeding time. Huge aviaries allow you to approach exotic birds, parrots and toucans.

Four main programs are offered: dolphin encounter, dolphin swim, sea lion encounter, and manta ray and shark encounter, as well as combination programs. For those not tempted by direct contact with the animals, simple observation is also offered. Water shows punctuate the day.

The encounter program consists of an approach and petting session, half immersed to the waist on a floating platform in a basin delimited by pontoons where the dolphins evolve. The program of swimming with dolphins allows you to evolve in a large pool with the mammals. Different approaches are organized, under the guidance of a trainer and nothing is left to chance. The highlight of the programme is the foot pushing which allows the swimmer to be propelled in the water by two dolphins who push him by leaning on the soles of his feet, guaranteed sensations. An artificial tropical lagoon is also available to divers armed with masks and snorkels who will discover fish and reefs. Finally, rest areas, an artificial beach with deckchairs and pools with waterfalls, allow visitors to recover from their emotions. Photography sessions punctuate the adventure; the photos that are taken in express are offered to visitors at the end of the program chosen in multiple formats (high prices). Reservations are required.
