Walk between the fish in the Ocean Tunnel

One of Ocean World’s highlights is the Ocean Tunnel that gives one the feeling of walking on the ocean floor. See from up close large sharks, stingrays and schools of tropical fish. Walk through a glass tunnel surrounded by water towards the Tropical Ocean, a huge aquarium with the “Ship wreck”, a man made sunken ship where several species of sharks hang out.

Shark at Ocean World

Another place to watch sharks is the Shark Walk where you walk over a transparent floor over a tank where several species of sharks live including leopard shark, sand tiger shark, white spotted and blacktip reef shark.

Fish of the Tropical Rainforest

A number of large fish species live at the Tropical Rainforest, an area that looks like a lush jungle with waterfalls. Among the fish that live here are several species from the Amazon rainforest like the Arapaima, the largest freshwater fish in the world that can reach a length of up to 15 feet.

Penguins at the Ice Adventure and Rocky Shore

The Ice Adventure area filled with ice and snow is home to Gentoo penguins, a fairly small species of penguins that live in Antarctica. Another species of penguins, the Jackass penguins or African penguins can be seen at the Rocky Shore. Watch how quick they swim right in front of you. These very sociable animals seem to enjoy the interaction with visitors.
