If you love exploring the underwater world like I do, you’re going to be amazed by these incredible aquariums. I’ve had some truly unforgettable moments standing face-to-face with dazzling sea creatures. You’ll find mesmerizing exhibits and ocean adventures that feel straight out of a dream.

Highlights:

  • I couldn’t believe the scale of the marine tunnels at S.E.A. Aquarium in Singapore—you’ll feel like you’re walking on the ocean floor.
  • If you’ve never seen a whale shark up close, the Georgia Aquarium in the USA is where I first did—and you should too. It’s awe-inspiring.
  • At Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan, I treated myself to an underwater dining experience. You’ll never forget eating alongside giant rays and reef fish.
  • I still talk about the glass tunnel at Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo. You’ll be surrounded by sharks and rays—it’s like stepping into another world.
  • Lisbon Oceanarium in Portugal wowed me with its unique architecture and historic marine exhibits. If you love sea life, you’ll want to stay all day.
