Despite some showers good trip, swimming with the sharks and rays was fun. I would have been satisfied if that was it, the additional "party-cruise" was not needed for me.

this was a very good experience. we were able to snorkel in the open ocean (but very safe) and also went into the pens where the sharks and rays are kept. it was pretty cool to see them swimming below you. The crew on the boat were fabulous. kept you entertained and well informed of the rules.

This was our second trip to the Marinarium. It was just as good this time.

This excursion would have been nice if we could have spent more time withthe sharks and sting rays. I think our total time in the water was only 30 minutes. It took a good 5-10 minutes to swim around the boat and get into the 'pen'. There were about 30 people ahead of us and we were last. If you have small children, be aware there is a very slight current. A current, nonetheless. Do get a set of fins from the boat! They have them. At least, one parent should have a set of fins to 'help' the kids. The extra foot-power is good to have. The crew was good. The snacks were dry sandwiches. The alcohol was limited.
