Tours
Encounter Tours & Ultimate Otter Swims are our main activities and the best way to experience our park and animal ambassadors. They are informative guided tours with plenty of up-close and hands-on interactions with our furry friends. Encounter Tours are approximately 90 minutes.
Add-on Encounters are able to be purchased to add more memorable interactions to your Encounter Tour. Hand feed a Sloth or Capybara and get an extra close and personal experience! Add-on Encounters are subject to animal ambassador availability to be determined by our animal care staff each day.
The Ultimate Otter Swim includes the full Encounter Tour + Add-on Encounters + 45 minute Otter Swim! It's our most comprehensive way to explore the park and lasts about 3 hours. Encounter Tours & Otter Swim groups start at the same tour & time, perfect for friends to stay together who may want different levels of tours. Kid-Friendly Ultimate Otter Swims are great for our guests ages 10+ and include the same experience as our regular Ultimate Otter Swim.
For guests that ONLY want to swim with the otters and do not want to experience our other animal ambassadors on a tour, we offer an Otter Swims experience. This ticket includes our 45 min Otter Swim ONLY, without the Guided Tour/Encounter Tour experience.
