The chronological excursion begins with the exploration of Malta’s Western Shoreline & Submarine in Zone 1, teeming with native Mediterranean species such as the gilt-head sea bream and European sea bass.
As you progress, the Valletta Harbour in Zone 2, the Tropical Oceans in Zone 3, and Roman Times in Zone 4, unfold offering a panoramic view of local fish, exotic marine life, and ancient Roman shipwrecks.
Unending underwater adventures
Be awed as you walk through the main tank's tunnel, a 12-meter diameter space filled with exotic species like black tip sharks, zebra sharks, leopard sharks, bamboo sharks, rays, and eels. Tip: You could get the chance to watch staff feed the sharks at 1pm and 4pm!
Continue on to Zone 5, where you'll encounter the stunning vistas of Gozo and Comino islands, accompanied by thriving freshwater tanks.
