Diving with dolphins in Miami

When visiting Miami with a hired charter bus from Charter Bus Florida, take the time out to visit the Miami Seaquarium. Miami Seaquarium is located on island of Virginia Key, on Biscayne Bay. It is a short distance from downtown Miami and is the longest operating aquarium in the United States.
The Miami Seaquarium provides the visitor with shows, interactive exhibits and animal encounters. One of its most famous residents was Flipper, the star of a 1960s TV series about the adventures of a dolphin. Most of the episodes and both the Flipper movies were filmed in Miami Seaquarium. Although the dolphins are now all different, you can be sure that the charter bus rental visit is no less fun and interesting for the kids and growns-ups alike.
The current star of Miami Seaquarium is Lolita the killer whale. Headlining the Whale and Dolphin Show, Lolita and her Pacific White-sided dolphin co-stars thrill spectators with spectacular tricks and jumps during their charter bus tours. Lolita and her friends also play an important role in educating visitors about the life of marine mammals and the importance of marine conservation.
Aside from the star turn, there are also shows by Flipper, in the lagoon where much of the TV show was filmed, the Seal and Sea Lion Show, and the Top Deck Dolphin Show. After taking in a show, you can visit Discovery Bay. Home to 26 Nile River crocodiles, this mangrove environment also includes white tailed deer, rescued and rehabilitated sea turtles, indigenous fish and rays, alligators and a host of native wild birds.
Also take a look at the Manatee Presentation, where charter bus visitors can learn about these gentle aquatic creatures, learning about their life, and reasons for their endangerment. Continue on to the Shark Presentation. Here you can watch caretakers feed 200 pound nurse sharks, and learn more about why humans present more of a danger to sharks, than the other way around.
For an interactive experience, visit the Tropical Wings Exhibit. Here you get up close and personal with Southern and Cow-nose rays, and watch exotic birds. Tour bus rental vacation-goers can educate themselves about the rapidly depleting tropical rainforest, and learn why this unique eco-system is crucial for the world.
The Miami Seaquarium is open year round, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. General admission tickets are $37.95 for adults and $27.95 for children aged 3 to 9. Prices for the Dolphin Interaction range from $45.00 to $199.00. Parking is $8.00. All the prices do not include tax.
