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.
Cape Town / Your next move

Keep exploring Cape Town with our travel partners.
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

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.
