点评:The staff and facility were very nice, and transportation to and from the location was efficient. Our drivers were lovely and made the logistics easy, which we appreciated.
That said, the overall experience felt heavily geared toward taking photos so they could sell their photo packages. Family members are not allowed anywhere near the tanks to take their own pictures, which means purchasing photos is essentially your only option if you want memories of the experience. The pricing was extremely high — approximately $430 CAD for around 100 photos (with some repeats). Even the smallest package of 12 photos was still over $300 CAD. Realistically, a family of 4–5 should expect to spend close to $1,000 CAD if they want both the experience and photos.
Although only your group is interacting directly with the dolphins, there is a lot happening at once. Several other families are in the same tank area at the same time, just positioned on different sides, which made it feel less intimate.
I did a different dolphin experience about 10 years ago that felt much more special — our group was alone in a large tank with just two dolphins, the focus wasn’t on photo ops, and it was about half the price. Compared to that, this experience didn’t quite live up to expectations.
Overall, it was still a neat experience and my kids loved interacting with the dolphins, but given the cost and the strong emphasis on photo sales, it’s not something I would do again.
翻译:工作人员和设施都非常棒,往返交通也很便捷。我们的司机很友善,安排得井井有条,我们对此非常感激。
话虽如此,整个体验感觉非常注重拍照,以便推销他们的照片套餐。家庭成员不允许靠近水池拍照,这意味着如果你想留住这次体验的回忆,购买照片基本上是唯一的选择。价格非常高——大约100张照片(有些重复)就要430加元左右。即使是最小的12张照片套餐也要300多加元。实际上,一个4-5人的家庭如果想要体验并拍照,预计要花费近1000加元。
虽然只有你们小组能直接与海豚互动,但同时发生的事情很多。其他几个家庭也在同一水池区域,只是位置不同,这让体验感觉不够亲密。
大约十年前,我体验过一次不同的海豚互动项目,感觉要特别得多——我们一行人单独待在一个大水池里,只有两只海豚,而且重点不在于拍照,价格也只有这次的一半左右。相比之下,这次的体验就有点令人失望了。
总的来说,这次体验还是很不错的,孩子们也很喜欢和海豚互动,但是考虑到价格和对拍照销售的过度重视,我不会再选择第二次了。
