Manila Ocean Park Sea Lion Show and Marine Life Habitat

It's not everyday that we get to see a sea lion, so I consider this part of the trip a treat. Although thanks to the movie Madagascar, I can't help but feel for these beautiful creatures being plucked out of the wild so they may be used to spread awareness for their preservation, and hopefully not fall to the hands of illegal poachers.


Loaded with popcorn, nachos and soda, we sat on the first row of the side bleachers to avoid the afternoon heat


The sea lions performed clever tricks and dance routines with their trainers, to the tune of Mission Impossible which set the mood for the seals going on exciting "missions"

After the show, we went to the Marine Life Habitat where you can take photos with the sealions (500php.) Of course, the children are too small to be allowed (by their dad!) Here you can get up-close with the sea lions and see them in underwater action just right below the viewing platform.


The coleman filled with sardines kept the seal happy to perform some more tricks
