Animal Experience – a Heavenly Day
Indeed, you chose Fuerteventura as your holiday destination to relax and to re-load your batteries, drained from all the “stuff” back home. And you’re right, you deserve it. But… if you and/or your family wanted to do something in the North of the island that is interesting, interactive and doesn’t cost you your last penny, then… Animal Experience is the thing to go for.
Parrots, Reptiles, Seals, Sea Lions and marine fish like groupers, moray eels … and sharks are waiting for you. If you meet certain specifications, you even can swim between them. A truly impressive experience and you get a “Diving with Sharks” certificate.
The guides give you a detailed explanation about the different types of sharks, their history that goes back 400 Million years and their behaviour. You will conclude that they are not more dangerous than other wild animals. The impressive pictures about them that you might have seen on TV or movie have been taken when these animals have been pushed over their limit.
You can visit reptiles, safely enclosed in their habitat and watch sea lions playing with each other. At regular times there is a seal and sea lion feeding session. It’s funny to see what they all can do to get that tasty bite. You even can book for a sea lion interactive session that is given every day at 12.00 and 15.00h.
The park allows for a nice walk where other animals like the racoon family and the African Flamencos can be looked at.
Offer yourself and your family that extra pleasure that cost you little, but that will be remembered for ever.
