I agree with other reviewers that this place was smaller than we expected - which was a plus with small children. It was amazing to watch the fish and other sea creatures in their natural environment from the underwater observatory and boat ride. We purchased a package thru our hotel that included admission, boat ride, movie and lunch. Great deal!... More

It's a kind of underwater Zoo. You can see all kinds of fish, turtels and even sharks there. There is a glass bottom boat. When you have kids it's a must.

I recommend going to the underwater Observatory Marine Park... It's amazing. You can watch the coral reef from 6 meters under and it's unbelievable the fish that swim there. It's truly amazing and magic.

There is a nice view of the coral reef from the underwater observatory. The glass-bottomed boat ride was short (10 minutes) and not that great. Oceanarium with moving seats was nice. Shark feeding best seen underwater. Package included lunch.

The view of the fish at the bottom of the stairs is incredible, well worth the many steps down (a small elevator is also available).

One of the leading and interesting attractions. You can see the real Coral world, fish both in their natural environment from an underwater Observatory (6 meter under the water). You can see educational movie about the undersea world in the Oceanarium. is a great place to spend your day and refuge from the extreme summer heat.

This is well worth a visit. The coral and fish were beautiful and so close. Photos came out well. We were there at the end of the day and it was quiet with very few people left. If you go at prime time it it is difficult to get around.

We were here before, but this time we brought our 2 year old. its very nice and interesting, colorful and diverse. Make sure to get in early to avoid rush hours and also the very hot noon sun.
