Instead of driving down to Hilton Head like we usually do, instead my wife and kids are going to go swimming with Dolphins at Discovery Cove and visit Sea World as a free option as part of the Discovery Cove package.  Actually, the Discovery Cove includes 14 free days pass to Sea World.

If I we were to use all 14 days, it would have been a huge bargain, but we are only going to go to Sea World three days at the max instead of the 14 free days that are included.  It was definitely worth it, my kids and wife talked about it all the way home!

I’ll save the Discovery Cove story for another day though, so now onto Sea World…

The primary attraction at Sea World is the Orcas, and they didn’t disappoint!  The primary Killer Whale that did most of the stunts would bent it’s tail into a funnel. and get the entire lower level audience wet.  I’ve never seen Killer Whales do that before, at least not to that range.  All told there seem to be at least 5 Killer Whales in the show, but I expect there are even more than that.

I was mostly amazed by the Dolphins though!  They are incredible intelligent animals, and borderline magical to watch.  The Dolphin Show that we watch was more than just Dolphins jumping though!  The entire act was borderline art!  You could tell that they female trainers had some dancing and ballet skills!  Then the bird show that was mixed in was amazing to watch too!

All in all, it was a great experience that both kids enjoyed, but especially my daughter!

If you ever decide to swim with the Dolphins, my family highly recommends it.

Cheers,
