Georgia — if you have issues with the prices charged at Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm, it would be best for you to take it up directly with them. I have absolutely ZERO influence on their pricing.

I’d love to come and visit your farm, and bring my niece, but your prices are way too high. I’d love to support your cause, and would like to see more people supporting your work. Consider charging more reasonable rates, so more people can visit you.
I’d pay $35 for my Bruce and I, but not $50 or $60, it’s just too much for an hour tour.

Best wishes growing the seahorse world.

HVG – As far as I’ve seen, they don’t advertise a kamaaina discount. Maybe you could call them and ask. I hope you can get over to see it sometime. Seahorses are fascinating and they actually have personalities, too.

If I remember correctly, these farm raised seahorse have a life expectancy of anywhere from 4 – 10 years in an aquarium – which is excellent compared to the ocean harvested seahorses that generally only live for 2 weeks in an aquarium.

This is something I always wanted to do. I wonder if they have a Kamaaina discount? Also, do you know how long these seahorses live?

Hi Evelyn – I didn’t know it either. The good news is that this farm is really making a difference by providing farm raised seahorses that are more able to live in an aquarium as a pet. So, it helps reduce ocean harvesting of seahorses.

Thank you, Sheila, for sharing this story. I had no idea they were making their way onto the endangered species list. They are a fascinating critter though!

Hi jim- yes there is a lot going on there. There were so many buildings and businesses that we thought we had gotten lost at first.

We only made it to the facility beside the seahorse ranch because we were catching a flight out that afternoon, it’s amazing the amount of commerce there is going on involving that deep sea water…
