Creator walking through the glass shark tunnel Come with me to Ripley's Aquarium of Myrtle Beach, an accredited sanctuary dedicated to marine life conservation and education. What's amazing is that your visit directly supports the animals and their habitats. Right away, you can walk through this incredible glass shark tunnel with a moving walkway, just watching these majestic creatures glide right over your head. Quick cuts: penguins waddling, then glowing jellyfish The aquarium is committed to conservation, research, and providing an immersive educational experience. And the variety is unreal! At the sanctuary, you'll encounter a variety of animals, including playful penguins, mesmerizing jellyfish, and even sloths in their Sloth Valley exhibit. Creator's hand reaching into the Ray Touch pool This was genuinely one of the most incredible encounters I've ever had with these animals. It's amazing to witness the rays up close in the touch tank, especially knowing that all proceeds directly benefit their care and the conservation efforts here. You can feel how gentle they are! Creator on the Glass Bottom Boat looking down at sharks The sanctuary is located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, right at Broadway at the Beach, and a full tour lasts a few hours. Afterward, you're free to explore the sanctuary for more close-up animal encounters. One of the most exciting experiences is the opportunity to ride the Glass Bottom Boat over the Dangerous Reef. Here's me getting a wild view of the sharks from above! - @dreamssmithamerican
