Ocean Rider Celebrating 25 Years

Oceanrider Seahorse Farm Tour Tickets

On this fascinating one-hour tour you will learn about ocean conservation and one of the greatest ocean mysteries – the seahorse! You will be surrounded by thousands of seahorses on our oceanfront 3-acre farm from babies to pregnant males from Australia to Hawaii. You may also see our leafy sea dragons, enjoy our interactive tide pool and see the world’s only 100% sustainable marine aquarium with over 20 endangered species which are all being bred at Ocean Rider.

Please book online to guarantee the best pricing, as well as your spot on the tour! If planning on visiting any other aqua farms, please schedule your tour with us to occur first on that day. We recommend you book 24 hours or more before you wish to take the tour. Walk-ins are welcome if space is available at slightly higher prices*. The Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm is all gravel with uneven terrain and may not be suited for wheelchairs or strollers.

The seahorse is a very delicate animal and an endangered species on the edge of extinction so please follow the holding instructions carefully.

Please arrive 30 minutes early to check-in, wash up, read our bio-security and seahorse holding rules.

The seahorse is a very delicate animal and an endangered species on the edge of extinction. Please follow - the holding instructions exactly. Seahorses will instinctively swim away from movement, light and noise. So, if you want to hold one, make your seahorse feel safe by NOT moving, pinching, grabbing, flashing light (i.e., a camera flash), or making noise.

• Keep cameras 4 feet away from the seahorse and make sure flash is off. (Please test your camera aimed at the ground, not the seahorse.)

All children must be 6 years or older to hold seahorses.

• All holders must be able to remain still and quiet, not moving any fingers, in order to hold a seahorse.

If a potential holder is not able to follow these instructions, Ocean Rider reserves the right to not allow them to hold a seahorse. No refunds will be issued in this case.
