Otter Swim
This joyful experience is for an hour of fun.
Spend an hour playing with our otters in their habitat, which includes our swim spa heated to a cozy 91 degrees, and out of the water in their surrounding habitat. Frolic, splash, play and feed them snacks. They may even take a quick power nap snuggled in your arms (it has happened!)
We have no age restrictions on this encounter; this is suitable for guests of all ages! Guests under 18 are required to have an adult present in the habitat with them, we do not allow unaccompanied minors. Only guests that pay for the experience are allowed on the premises. We don’t allow spectators due to our licensing limitations and because spectators distract the otters - they want to include you! Our main goal is for the participants to get the best possible experience. Thank you for your understanding.
Don't forget to bring your camera to capture every precious moment.
Swimming with the otters is $250 per person.

WHAT WE DO AND DON’T
What we do!
We provide you and your family with a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, from gourmet food and the cleanest overnight accommodations to unforgettable hands-on experiences with domestic and exotic animals. Our mission goes beyond providing unique encounters—we are deeply committed to conservation. Through responsible care and education, we inspire guests to connect with wildlife and understand the importance of preserving endangered species.
What we won’t do!
We are a proudly family owned, for profit business. We won’t pretend to be a rescue, animal sanctuary, or nonprofit organization in an effort to mislead you. While some of our animals have been re-homed or rescued, many have been ethically sourced from reputable breeders and hand-raised with the utmost care. This transparency is important because some organizations hide under the label of a sanctuary or nonprofit while operating differently. We, on the other hand, are proudly a for-profit business, and our greatest priority is the health and well-being of our animals.
Why does this matter? Our profits go directly into providing top-tier care, enrichment, and specialized diets for our animals—many of which are rare or endangered. By supporting us, you are also supporting global conservation efforts, ethical wildlife care, and the protection of species at risk. Your visit helps fund essential programs that ensure these magnificent creatures continue to thrive for generations to come.
