Selwo Marina

WOW! what an amazing experience me and my family have had today here at selwo marina!
lots of animal ranges, animals ALL seem very looked after, and healthy. rather large enclosures. can get close up to certain animals, walk through enclosures with birds and small monkeys. good for all ages, the dolphin show was amazing! and the staff are all very experienced and polite. the fluffy penguin really took me by surprise, didn’t know there was fully penguins in existence😂 the dolphin enclosure looks very deep, and lots of room for the dolphins. looking at some reviews where they say “animal abuse” “small cages” the animals seem happy, and the dolphins seem to enjoy what they do, entertain people and show their skills off. i came here 10 years ago, and don’t remember much, but i was a bit disappointed at the end when we had a photo with a sea lion, 10 years ago, the sea lion actually puts their one arm around you, and now you gotta stand a bit away from the sea lion on a line, but other than that, was yet again, 10 years later, another fabulous experience, and we enjoyed ourselfs, the baby and grandmother loved it also! they have a park, slide, cafee, the gift shop was rather expensive, but overall, i would definitely recommend!

hope you enjoy your visit!

We came mostly for the dolphins but had a pleasant time watching other animals as well. The park is small but well organized, and it's not as overrun as many other similar establishments.
Buying the ticket online is recommended as it's slightly cheaper.

This zoo, primarily focused on water animals, offers a decent experience. While not extraordinary, it's a good option for a quick visit, made more convenient by the free parking available.
The small size doesn't detract from the enjoyment, and the highlight is undoubtedly the impressive dolphins' performance.
A solid choice for a day out with aquatic wonders.

Perfect place to visit for young children as it’s all pretty flat! The small caged area for monkeys was great as well as the indoor penguins.

Lots to see and do and the shows were very interesting. I thought 30€ for 2 photos with the dolphin was actually reasonable. All the staff were super friendly and informative. It’s quite small is the only thing so you can get round and do it all quite quick. Works out cheaper if you buy multiple excursions at once.
My girls loved it, lots of animals to see

Lovely day out. You get to sit back and watch the dolphins dart round and play with balls. Penguins flapping and diving around, there's a wide range of things to see here. Prices are reasonable and there's places to eat. Well worth the trip.

Had an amazing few hours here. Could have easily spent more time but it was our last day and we had to get back for transfer to the airport.
The animals were all well cared for, park lovely and clean and all the staff were friendly. Would definitely visit again when we're back in benalmadena

We loved this place! Spent most of our time watching the dolphins swimming around but they have a good variety of animals. The canteen had a good choice of food (although we didn’t eat there) and there were a few shows on throughout the day. You can also leave and return the same day if you want to come back for a show etc.

Only downside is the crocodile wasn’t on show because they are renovating the exhibit.

Definitely worth a visit if you’re in the area.

The staff are really knowledgeable about the animals and try and put across the perspective of the animal in question. We did the seal and dolphin encounter and sometimes they don’t do a command and they can’t be forced which is absolutely fine. The physicality of the animals are healthy (visually) and they very much tell people about the environment and to stop throwing rubbish onto the floor/the ocean and seas. It’s a smaller sized area but the main point is care for the animals not for our entertainment. The pod of dolphins also seem content with one another and with their trainers which is very important.

Lovely day at the park. All the enclosures are spotlessly clean. And most importantly all the animals were relaxed and happy. No weaving or pacing. Dolphins made me very emotional and was lovely to see how much their trainers care for them. Food was great, and friendly staff all around.

This was so much better than I expected. It seemed like only a small place from the outside, but it had so many things to offer.

Unfortunately the prices are cheaper on the website, and having tried the website, it didn't work. The prices can vary depending on the day too.

But the penguins were probably the best part. There are also two cages you can go into, gilled with monkeys, birds and other animals. That was incredible.

The dolphins were also impressive, but I had to go after a few minutes.

Excellent little park with dolphins and others animals. It's not massive but could easily spent few hours in there if you take your time and read everything about the animals. The dolphin and bird shows are very good and definitely worth watching. All animals looked happy and well cared for.

Visited in December 21. Booked for the Penguin encounter and it was absolutely brilliant.

Very slick process, you have to arrive an hour before your booking to confirm attendance. Gives you chance to walk around other enclosures.

The park was clean and social distancing rules were in place.

Exotic Birds display was cool. With interactions for everyone.

Didn't see much of Dolphins or Sea Lions.

Going back to Penguins encounter. Really cool with personal trainer explaining about different breeds and conservation. Penguins get really close and are friendly and inquisitive...And hungry.

If you love animals, definitely worth a visit.

An amazing place to take your children, they will love it. There is so much to see and do, it's well worth a visit.

This excursion is very good for families and people that enjoy seeing wildlife, not limited to sea life but all types of animals. They have a lot to show such as the king penguins and exotic birds. They have reptiles and other mammals on exhibit. You can get up and personal with a few species. I won't spoil it for you :) but all in all this is a great place to have a day out. It is relatively cheap. Experiences life the dolphin show is free but feeding and petting the dolphins come at a cost. They do deals on photos, so the more you buy the cheaper and the staff ate really friendly here. There are food and drink facilities and toilets and baby changing facilities. Overall I had fun and the dolphin show is a must see!

I absolutely adore Dolphins and watching them train, then have a play with there red balls was AWESOME 👌, It truly made my day, I got loads of videos of them, it was perfect 🥰. Your Marina is beautiful, its spacious, plenty to see and also loved watching the seal lions chill 😎 the penguins swimming right upto you, I hate places with big crowds and your marina zoo is gorgeous and spacious and u can see everything, take your time and get amazing pictures 📸, will definitely be coming again when we are back in Benalmadena 😁❤🦜🦎🐊🐬🦭🐧

Amazing little zoo with shows 😍

Small aqua park with a few parrots and monkeys plus a couple of crocodiles dolphins, seal lions and penguins , good access for all people, lovely and clean, good food drink well priced. Spent a relaxing 4hrs there and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Also right next to a fabulous public park with pond lovely fauna and wildlife.

Wow amazing park so much to see and do, we went there for my little boys 5th birthday and he loved every minute of it (as did mammy & daddy) lol. The food in the park was nice too highly recommend 👌 we got our photo with the dolphins big high light for Charlie

It's a wonderful place with lots of different marina animals and also birds.
These are all rescue animals that will be let out into the wild after their health is restored.
They have amazing experience programmes of " encounter with the animals."
We had an encounter with the penguins, dolphins, and sea lions.
We also watched a live bird show.
