Our Ocean Park Experience

I scheduled our visit in Ocean Park on a Thursday since I read that it could get really crowded during weekends especially that we went there during summer vacation.

It was already 9am when our shuttle arrived and there's already a lot of people lining up to buy tickets. Since we went there on a group tour, our guide was the one who distributed our tickets and we have a special line. While on our way, our guide explained what to expect and shared with us his suggested itinerary and some tips to make the most of our visit to Ocean Park. Now, I'm sharing you the itinerary that we followed and I'd never our experience couldn't get any better.
