Plan Your Visit to SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast

You'll need to bring your own swimwear and towel for the seal swim session. Arrive at least 15 minutes before your scheduled swim time to allow for the pre-swim briefing with keepers. The experience requires minimum age and swimming ability requirements, so check these during booking.

Group sizes are limited to ensure both visitor safety and seal welfare, making advance booking essential. The seal swim is not wheelchair accessible due to facility requirements. Professional photos from your session can be purchased on site as additional souvenirs.

After your seal encounter, you can spend the rest of the day exploring the aquarium's other attractions. The facility showcases colourful reef systems and interactive exhibits featuring marine life native to Australian waters, making it an ideal full-day experience on the Sunshine Coast.
