Imagine diving into a world teeming with vibrant marine life, where you can witness the captivating beauty of the ocean first-hand. We took our eldest for a birthday treat to the National Marine Aquarium in Plymouth for an incredible snorkelling experience to watch (amongst others) the giant turtle – a species that has been his favourite for many years.
Stepping into the tank allows you to experience this magical realm up close, immersing yourself amongst these stunning marine creatures which include sharks and ever so graceful stingrays.
Snorkelling at National Marine Aquarium is not only a thrilling experience but also an educational one. An expert Marine Biologist guides you throughout the journey, providing valuable insights into the different species you encounter. They share fascinating facts about the marine ecosystem, highlighting the importance of conservation and the need to protect our oceans.
So if you have a special event to mark during your stay here, we highly recommend doing this. Pre-booking is vital, and often needed at least a few weeks in advance! Find out more here for this activity and other options (such as sleeping with sharks :-)).
