Two Oceans Aquarium

At the V&A Waterfront, this aquarium offers a close look at marine life from the waters around southern Africa. It is an indoor stop with a clear focus on ocean habitats.

Why go

The Kelp Forest Exhibit lets you watch life among swaying fronds rather than seeing marine animals only in isolated tanks. Large viewing windows bring you close to underwater habitats. Together, those views make the aquarium a useful counterpoint to Cape Town’s beaches and boat trips, especially when outdoor conditions are poor.

What to look for

  • Fish move through the Kelp Forest Exhibit.

Useful to know

  • Check the aquarium’s current programme if the penguin feeding is a priority.
  • Combine the visit with time at the adjacent V&A Waterfront rather than making a separate cross-city trip.
