Two Oceans Aquarium

<< back to Cape Town Travel Guide

The Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront is the perfect location for Cape Town’s underwater nature reserve. Here, at the meeting place of two great oceans – the Atlantic and the Indian – thousands of sea creatures live in harmony, and the Two Oceans Aquarium offers spectacular underwater views of this world.

The aquarium is a hit with people of all ages. Kids adore visiting this magical world of brightly-hued fish, playful seals and touch pools, while adults marvel at the silvery sharks and sea cucumbers. There are tons of activities to keep you entertained in this underwater world, whatever your age!

Activities at the Two Oceans Aquarium
The aquarium features different seasonal exhibitions, each of which showcases another fascinating aspect of the ocean and its creatures. There are numerous indoor and outdoor displays, including respective Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean galleries, seal exhibits, kelp forest exhibits and the awesome predator exhibit. View marine life in its natural habitat, and marvel at the colours, shapes and sizes of some of the world’s best-known – and lesser-known! – sea creatures.

And, for the ultimate adrenaline rush, why not dive with ragged-tooth sharks? Swim alongside these powerful creatures, as well as rays and turtles, in the 2-million-litre I&J Predator Exhibit. After all your sightseeing, relax and enjoy refreshments at the aquarium’s restaurant, and be sure to pick up a souvenir at the curio shop.
