The Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town is a top class facility that has a huge variety of marine wonders on display. With over 300 species of fish and animals on display, the experience should satisfy even the pickiest viewers. Not only does the aquarium offer the expected underwater viewing perspective of various exotic fish, jellyfish and crustaceans, but it also features underwater viewing of penguins and seals. Some of the exhibits include entire ecosystems in miniature and a touch pool where visitors can touch starfish and sea anemones amongst others.
Some of the more impressive displays are towards the end of the tour such as a kelp forrest swaying in the current, and the main tank filled with sharks, other fish, a turtle and rays (including one over 250kg). If you time your tour carefully you may be able to witness the sharks being fed, or, if you have an open-water scuba-diving license, you can pay to swim in the shark tank!
