About us
























Welcome to Singapore's sole attraction offering a one-and-only experience with pink dolphins, where spectacular performances starring the dolphins and fur seals will capture the hearts and minds of audiences young and old. Feast your eyes on the graceful moves and fascinating behaviors of our marine friends, as you embark on the adventure of a lifetime in an underwater sanctuary where learning comes alive.
As an intimate, family-friendly oceanarium packed with interactive encounters, we take visitors on an enchanting voyage right into the ocean's depths. Engage with majestic sharks and rays, exotic Sea Dragons, ethereal Sea Angels and living fossils like the Arapaima for a kaleidoscope of oceanic perspectives. On top of stirring the imagination, our educational exhibits and programmes inspire the public to share our commitment in conserving our beautiful but fragile marine world.











Schooling School























Ever wondered how science teachers like you could inspire more creative young minds?
With help from our guides, dive into the marine tank to demonstrate how fishes and divers adapt differently underwater. Also get to communicate with students outside of the tank via the unique marine communications system - a first for any educational programme.
Armed with Adventure Kits and badges, students will develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of various topics like adaptation, marine biology and conservation in the exciting Ocean Discovery Tour. Indeed, it's interactive fun taken to a whole new level!
