"please do not support this animal abuse."

Marine land is a horrible business. These poor dolphins are kept captive and worse yet their tanks are right next to the ocean so they can smell and see the salt water of the ocean, Yet they are kept in the small tanks and are forced to swim with humans. This is abusive to these animals and should be illegal. Dolphins are some of the most intelligent animals on our planet; this is a complete abomination

Had the time of our lives! Expensive, but worth it. Dolphins need to eat and food isn't cheap. Would do this again in a heartbeat.

Marley was amazing. So knowledgeable and kind. She was very compassionate about my elderly mother and offered us some much needed air after I pushed my mom up the steep hill in her wheelchair. It was a very hot day and we're from Ohio so we're definitely not used to it. I will come back here every year I'm in St. Augustine.
