Gold Coast Sea World is perfect for a family outing. There are plenty of kid-friendly attractions, as well as more exciting rides for older children and adults. There are also opportunities to get up close and personal with marine animals. The highlight was the dolphin show. The dolphins and the staff interacted so well with each other—these animals are so charming and adorable. We also bought some souvenirs to bring back for friends and family. Our family had so many wonderful memories from the day.
Gold Coast Sea World is well worth a visit! It's packed with attractions and will definitely satisfy all your expectations for a marine theme park.
Upon entering, you'll be treated to intimate interactions with rare marine creatures like dolphins, penguins, and polar bears, immersing them in their adorable and lively presence. The Penguin House and Polar Bear Coast are particularly popular, with their adorable antics making you burst into laughter. Don't miss the thrilling rides, too, such as the "Atlantis" series, which will let you scream and release stress. The spectacular dolphin shows, featuring clever dolphins leaping and spinning, are both adorable and soothing. Whether you're traveling with children, couples, or friends, this is the perfect choice for a fun and memorable getaway.

We had an unforgettable experience on the Sea World Cruise Whale Watching tour! The crew was knowledgeable and friendly, providing fascinating insights about the whales and their behavior. The boat was comfortable and offered excellent viewing spots. We were fortunate to see several whales up close, making the trip truly magical. I highly recommend this tour for anyone looking to experience the beauty of marine life in their natural habitat. A must-do adventure!
It was a great trip. The captain patiently explained and ensured that all tourists on the boat could see humpback whales.

Very humane, they waited until all the guests arrived before flying. We thought we had wasted our tickets because we were late. And you can choose Chinese movies. Because it was raining, the helicopter experience was a plus.
The experience is very good when the weather is good, it is worth recommending

My First time to do the whales watching 🐋 This is a great experience in Gold Coast. I truly recommend to booked with Kokomo Cruise by Trips.
During the National Day holiday, we took the 11:30 AM tour and saw pods of dolphins and blue whales chasing, flipping, and leaping in the sea. It was a perfect trip, highly recommended!
Be sure to take seasickness medicine; the boat is small and getting so close to the whales was quite rocking.
We arrived at the meeting point 15 minutes early, checked our names, and boarded the boat. Children were provided with special life jackets, and a small gift was given after the trip.
Overall, it was a very satisfying and wonderful trip. 👍
