Sea World on the Gold Coast has opened a stunning new animal presentation for the 2025 summer season, with the debut of the ONE Dolphin Presentation.
This all-new live experience invites guests to connect with the beauty of marine life and explore the bond between humans, dolphins and the future of our oceans.
A Show with Heart and Purpose
Unlike traditional performance-style dolphin shows, ONE is built around powerful storytelling, conservation messaging and awe-inspiring natural behaviours. The presentation focuses on three key themes:
-
ONE Connection — highlighting the remarkable, empathetic relationship between dolphins and humans;
-
ONE Future — encouraging awareness of ocean threats and inspiring guests to become advocates for marine conservation;
-
ONE Promise — a reflective finale encouraging visitors to personally commit to protecting the ocean’s future.
Each session showcases breathtaking movement from Sea World’s dolphin team while delivering a heartfelt message about why ocean conservation matters now more than ever.
Sea World also emphasises that all observed behaviours are extensions of natural dolphin behaviour, and animals participate under Sea World’s Welfare WISE program where they have choice and control over their involvement.
Premium Venue: Dolphin Beach Stadium
The new presentation takes place at Dolphin Beach Stadium, an upgraded venue at the rear of the park that now features a brand-new shade roof for improved guest comfort — a welcome touch considering Australia’s summer sunshine.
Showtimes are typically 11:30 AM and 3:30 PM, making it easy to fit into a visit’s schedule (times subject to change — always check the daily schedule in the Sea World app or park signage).
Supporting Education & Conservation
In addition to showcasing dolphins in action, ONE aims to educate guests about the species’ natural world and the threats facing marine ecosystems. The presentation highlights the work of the Sea World Foundation and the ongoing need for community engagement in protecting oceans for future generations.
What This Means for Guests
For theme park visitors and marine life enthusiasts alike, ONE represents a modern shift towards conservation-focused live experiences. It blends emotional storytelling with educational value and impressive animal engagement — giving audiences more than just thrills, but something meaningful to take home after their day at Sea World.
Whether you’re planning a family visit over the summer holidays or looking to expand your Sea World itinerary, ONE Dolphin Presentation is shaping up to be a highlight of the park’s 2025–26 season.
