A great place for a day trip. It's fun for both kids and adults. It's a shame they open late (10am) and close quite early (6pm, but by 5:30pm they shut everything down). We saw three animal shows and tried several rides. There was very little time left to relax and swim in the pools. Overall, we really enjoyed it, but getting there without a car is inconvenient and quite expensive.

The beach and rock landscape here is a bit like the Twelve Saints Rocks in Australia. The beautiful caves have always been something I wanted to visit. I took a Tuk-Tuk all the way along the blue coastline... Even in winter, it is still so intoxicating.
