The dolphin show was more interesting 3 years ago. But that doesn't mean that it was bad now. The show may have been shortened by Corona. But I'm not sure. At first the admitting lady didn't even want to try to scan our tickets. Apparently GetYourGuide doesn't book very often. But everything went smoothly. Food a bit overpriced. But if you take something with you, you save a lot of money. Unfortunately, we missed the parrot show because the show times on the website weren't right, so we wanted to reserve a good place in the dolphinarium. The distance was not despite Corona. But only vaccinated / genesis or with a test come in. We liked everything very much and would go again.

On the whole quite OK, better book without lunch and take something with you and save the money (very long waiting time and not really appealing "PASTA"). The staff was always friendly and helpful! The dolphin show was awesome! We had a nice day.

Simon from Offenburg,, Germany It was super nice the whole park you can only recommend very clean everything, very many interesting topics. The people were very nice too. Food was great, the shows were perfect. Will be back just perfect.

Super nice section of beach, great service on site and class B Advance information/communication :) we would book again and again!
