Sea lion groups are limited to 10, making this rare opportunity even more memorable.Blue Lagoon Island, officially known as Salt Cay, provides one of the few programs worldwide where you can get up-close-and-personal with sea lions in an all-natural marine habitat. The ferry terminal on nearby Paradise Island serves as the launch point for outings to Blue Lagoon Island from Nassau. Get to Paradise Island in one of three ways: take a challenging hike up and over the bridge, hire a taxi, or ride a ferry from Woodes Rogers Wharf in downtown Nassau.
At Paradise Island Ferry Terminal, your boat awaits to take you on a scenic journey to Blue Lagoon Island. Your route includes navigation through Nassau harbor, where your captain points out yachts and mansions of interest. The likes of Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan and Oprah own property in this luxurious enclave.
Disembark at Blue Lagoon Island and head to a calm lagoon with waist-high platforms submerged in water. While you stand in the water, an expert trainer gives a fun and interactive orientation on the history of sea lions, training techniques, ocean conservation measures and guidelines on how to interact with these animals. Depending on conditions and availability, anywhere between one and three sea lions may be participating in your program.
For about 20 minutes thereafter, a smile stretches across your face as these affectionate mammals entertain you. Watch them bray and bark back in response to their names, embrace them as they leap up into your arms for hugs and kisses, and accept their extended foreflippers for a handshake.
As the programs ends, say goodbye to your new mammal friends, who blow you a farewell kiss. Photographers and videographers are on-site to capture your sea lion interaction and will have your memorable souvenirs available for purchase by the time you leave the park.
During your remaining time on the island, enjoy access to private white sand beaches, restaurants or game area until it’s time to board the boat back to Paradise Island Ferry Terminal.
