Bring your animal encounter dreams to life at Sea World on the Gold Coast with this opportunity to get up close with rescued seals. You'll be able to meet some of Sea World's different seal breeds in this exciting behind-the-scenes experience. Watch the seals splash around in the Seal Theatre and learn all about their behaviour and different personalities first-hand from the trainer. Your encounter could be with either long-nosed fur seals, Australian sea lions or Californian sea lions, and you'll have the chance to have your photo taken beside these cheeky creatures. It's an up-close animal encounter you'll never forget. Please note: Participants must purchase a Sea World entry ticket or hold a valid One Pass to enter Sea World.
