Backlot Rescue Tour - Coming Soon

$25 Per Person | Offered Daily 9:00AM, 11:15AM & 4:15PM

Nothing quite compares to the feeling of rescuing a sick or injured dolphin, but it's a feeling our marine mammal responders live for. Now - thanks to our Backlot Rescue Tour - you too can experience the excitement and joy of responding to a "stranded" dolphin.

Your tour guide will take you behind the scenes of what a working rehabilitation hospital is like, showcasing the many different elements of our stranding program. During this 45-minute walking experience, you'll visit an animal necropsy lab to learn about the research we conduct when an animal strands, tour our marine mammal ambulance, and see the facilities required to provide long-term rehabilitation to sick and/or injured whales & dolphins. During your experience, you'll learn first-hand what to do if you ever encounter a marine mammal that needs help as you work with your tour guide to "rescue" a model dolphin calf.

To culminate this exhilarating experience, you'll see our resident bottlenose dolphins up close and learn about how your participation in the tour is helping us rescue real whales & dolphins in need.
