Other fun things to do nearby:
1) Whale Watching Cruise
Embark on a luxurious cruise for an unforgettable whale-watching experience guided by marine experts! Book this once-in-a-lifetime experience in the link below!
💡Pro tips:
✿ The best time for whale watching is during August when the peak of whale migration happens. No worries if you can't make August though, whale watching season usually runs between June and October so there's plenty of time for you to catch it! Cruises run during the mornings to early afternoons so you can definitely make a day trip out of it!
✿ Make sure to wear sunscreen and comfortable clothing with warm layers since you’ll be staying under the sun for a while and the ride can get windy!
✿ Visit the official Sea World Cruise souvenir store at the terminal after being dropped off, for exclusive attraction pins you may only find here!
2) Topgolf
