SeaWorld Orlando Rescue Tour

SeaWorld is one of the largest marine animal rescue operations in the world, and in the company’s 50-year history has now rescued and cared for 40,000 injured, sick and orphaned animals.

The SeaWord Rescue teams are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to immediately mobilise whenever required to help animals suffering from a variety of conditions such as starvation, cold stunning, dehydration, shark attacks, propeller wounds, entanglements, and many are found to be dependent orphans. The causes of these conditions range widely from natural events like drops in temperature and displacement from storms to anthropogenic conditions like oil spills, fishhook and line injuries, ingestion of foreign items like plastic, boat strikes and lack of food sources from pollution.

All three SeaWorld parks in the USA have dedicated rescue and rehabilitation facilities, equipped to care for the species most often rescued. SeaWorld Orlando is the largest manatee rescue operation in the U.S., and one of only five critical care centres. The five-acre rescue centre can care for up to 60 manatees at a time. This 30-minute tour is your chance to see that operation first hand as you are guided through the facility. You will have the opportunity to see manatees and sea turtles while learning how SeaWorld rescues and takes care of these animals with the ultimate aim of returning them to their natural habitat.

Please Note: Admission to SeaWorld is required and not included with the SeaWorld Rescue Ticket.
