Make the Most of August at Gulfarium
By Mary Fomby, Gulfarium
Summer may be winding down, but there is still time to enjoy some of Gulfarium Marine Adventure Park’s most exciting seasonal experiences. Throughout August, guests can explore the park, meet incredible animals, enjoy daily dolphin and sea lion presentations, and take part in special programs that will only be available for a few more weeks.
The Rise & Shine Dolphin Package offers guests a peaceful and memorable way to begin their day at Gulfarium. The experience includes early entry to the park, a guided look around Gulfarium, a dockside encounter with Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, and general admission for the remainder of the day.
Guests can also get closer to Gulfarium’s African penguins during Penguin Plunge, a seasonal in-water penguin encounter. This unique experience gives participants the opportunity to step into the water and interact with members of Gulfarium’s penguin colony while learning more about their personalities, behaviors, and care.
Catch the Final Summer Fitness Classes
Gulfarium’s summer fitness experiences offer two unique ways to move, stretch, and unwind in settings unlike anywhere else on the Emerald Coast.
Pilates with Dolphins invites guests to begin the morning with an all-levels Pilates class overlooking Dolphin Oasis. Led by a certified instructor, the class combines an energizing workout with beautiful Gulf views and dolphins nearby.
Guests can also experience UNDERWATER: The Living Sea Experience, an after-hours yoga class inside Gulfarium’s Living Sea Aquarium. Surrounded by marine life, participants move through a relaxing, ocean-inspired flow in the peaceful atmosphere of the aquarium.
Only a limited number of Pilates with Dolphins and Underwater Yoga classes remain this summer. Guests are encouraged to reserve their spots before the final August sessions sell out.
One More Summer Adventure at Sunset Camp
Kids ages 6 to 14 still have time to experience an evening of animal encounters, exploration, and hands-on learning during Gulfarium’s Sunset Camp.
While parents enjoy an evening out, campers explore Gulfarium after hours with activities that include a dockside dolphin encounter, enrichment time with the penguin colony, beach exploration, conservation activities, and dinner at Seal Harbor.
Sunset Camp gives future marine biologists the opportunity to connect with animals, learn directly from Gulfarium’s team, and experience the park in a completely different way.
The final Sunset Camp dates of the summer are approaching, and availability is limited.
