Shamu Dinner/behind the scenes SEAWORLD

[Guest]

Not sure which one to go for at Seaworld, either Dine with Shamu, or the ExpressOrlando AdventureTour (this is more expensive). Can anyone advise. the second one you get to go on a few rides without queue, reserved seating in two shows but the part we are really interested in is the petting/feeding of dolphins, rays etc. and cuddling a penguin!

Dine with Shamu is just a small close up show with one of the Orcas whilst having a buffet style meal and nothing else

[Guest]

as said above, Dine with Shamu is just a buffet style lunch/dinner in the company of one or two of the whales.
You can do the petting/feeding of dolphins & rays without going on a special tour, you just need to be in the right place at the right time.
The Adventure Express Tour is good if you want to see more behind the scenes, avoid the lines for shows & rides and of course... you get to pet a penguin!

What is the Adventure Express Tour and do you know how much it is?

the adventure express tour sounds like a really good thing to do..my DD would adore cuddling the penguins,if it isn't too expensive its something I'd put on our to do list.

We did the Polar expedition tour where you are also able to hold a penguin. Thought it was great, especially as it only cost $16.

i thought for us its good idea, as been to the dolphin feed stampede before, never really got much of a look in, also DS will be the only one going on kracken type rides and it willsave us time waiting for him in line. My daughter is 9 and I think it will be good experience. I read one review maybe it was Highlanders not sure, it was someones 40th, the lunch you have is in the same area as dine with Shamu so presumably you can see the whales at the same time. That is if this info. is correct. Although this is 79$ an adult bit pricey.
