Located on Hawaii’s Big Island,Hilton Resort(Hilton Waikoloa Village), hailed as one of the “world’s top ten” luxury resorts, features a dolphin pool where visitors can swim and interact with dolphins, making it one of the key attractions. Recently, the dolphin pool welcomed two special guests—blacktip reef sharks—in an attempt to combine tourism with education and show that not all sharks are “scary monsters”!

Staff said blacktip reef sharks are naturally timid and pose almost no threat to humans. They hope the sharks can serve as “wildlife ambassadors” to help dispel the scary image of sharks as “vicious man-eaters.” The two sharks are still acclimating to their new environment, but the team has already begun planning training sessions and interactive programs, which will be launched in a similar format to the dolphin encounters. Current dolphin experience programs start at $200. How much would you be willing to pay to “have fun with sharks”?
