Beluga whale interaction at SeaWorld

Visiting SeaWorld is a yearly thing for us. We have committed to make at least one trip a year because we love the park and we love to support the rescue efforts they do every single day.
My son and I are grateful for the awesome staff at SeaWorld that provided us passes to enter the park. We bought the interaction a couple of months ago. It has been a dream of us to be able to touch and interact with the whales since we can remember. Actually is was on my list of 50 things I want to do before turning 50, so cheers to that list getting shorter each day.
SeaWorld is one of only six facilities in the world to host beluga whales, and through the Beluga Interaction Program ,I was able get in the water with these awesome animals.
​First you check in with a SeaWorld team member. They take you behind the scenes to a locker/bathroom where you change into a SeaWorld wet suit. After that they take you to the pool where the whales are at.
You walk down some stairs and get in the water. The water covers you waist deep. The water was about 55 degrees, but the custom-fit wet suit does not let you freeze.
​
The whales are very docile and playful and they love when you feed them. You learn to interact with the whales and work with them on some behaviors such as spun in place, float on their backs to be rubbed,  the love to give kisses, wave, and make noises, depending on the hand signal you give them.

Tips to make your experience better

  • Do not forget to bring your swim wear.
  • Bring a hair tie.
  • If you are picky with hair products bring your own shampoo and hair conditioner.
  • Pack your deodorant.
  • Bring a plastic bag to pack the wet swim wear and wet towel. (SeaWorld provides a towel that you get to keep).
  • Do not be afraid of getting splash by the whales, it is all part of the fun.
  • Be prepared to buy pictures. They are not included on the experience but they are worth it.
  • Keep your hands inside the water as much as possible. It helps to keep you warmer. 
  • Make it a family or group event. It is so much fun

Super cool. I have always wanted to do something like this. Will see if we can take a vacation to San Diego soon and will book it.
