Sea Life Park - general information

Sea Life Park Hawaii is a marnine mammal park near Makapu'u Point, north of Hanauma Bay on the Island of Oahu in Hawaii United States. The park first opened in 1964, and includes exhibits that let visitors interact with the animals by swimming with dolphines, sea lions, and rays, taking a sea safari in the aquarium, and feeding the sea turtles. The park also includes a bird sanctuary and aquarium. The Hawaiian Reef Aquarium is a 300,000-US-gallon (1,100 m3) tank that is home to more than 2000 reef animals, including sharks, stingrays, turtles, and schools of tropical fish.

The Hawaiian Ocean Theater is the venue for the main shows, which includes dolphins, penguins, and sea lions. The shows include information about the newest training techniques and about the park's conservation efforts.

The Penguin Habitat is home to the park's Penguins, which are part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Planfor the Humboldt Penguin.

The Bird Sanctuary is home to many wild marine birds, most of which came to the sanctuary sick or injured. Visitors can see how these birds are cared for and rehabilitated.
The Hawaiian Monk Seal Habitat lets visitors see these native animals, and interact with the trainers before and after the shows.

Sea Life Park Hawaii is active in several conservation areas, including the release of adolescent green sea turtles that were hatched and raised at the park, hundreds of which are released into the wild each year.
