South East Asia Aquarium



Getting there

You could take a cab, but a cheaper method is taking the North East Line to Harbourfront Station and then, depending upon your choice, go to the ground floor to take a RWS 8 bus (S$1) or walk on the boardwalk (free of cost in 2017) or go to the 3rd floor to take a monorail and alight at the Waterfront station (S$4)









At the aquarium

Shark Seas Habitat: This curved enclosure made us feel like the sharks who lived there were swimming above us. It was home to over 100 sharks, including hammerhead sharks which had 360O vision.

Hard Coral & Soft Coral Habitat: Small but colourful fish lived in a dense jungle of corals and sea anemones. The first picture is a view of the Soft Coral Habitat while the second is an up-close view of a fish in the Hard Coral Habitat



African Lake: Many different sea creatures in different shapes, sizes and colours live in this habitat including the endangered Platinum Alligator Gar and the Giant Moray Eel with a second pair “Alien” jaws.



Ocean Dome: Watch rays “fly” above you in the Ocean Dome, an enclosure housing not just rays, but hammerheads and other colourful fish from around the aquarium. Connected to it is the Ocean Restaurant, a restaurant with a view of the Ocean Dome’s tank.


Jellyfish: Many colourful jellyfish live in this tank, which move in such a funny manner, you will want to take a video of them moving. Also in another tank are sea nettles, whose tops are harmless but bottoms are harmful because they can give you an electrical spark if you touch them.


Shipwreck Habitat:  Who knew a shipwreck could be home to so many fish? There are many tiny but colourful fish swimming around a wrecked ship at the Shipwreck Habitat near the exit of the aquarium.

Location: 8 Sentosa Gateway, S.E.A. Aquarium, Resorts World Sentosa, Singapore 098269

Getting there I would recommend getting a taxi but if you want a cheaper method use the MRT by taking the East West Line to Boon Lay and then taking bus 194 from there to the park. At the park High Flyers Show We reached there only at 11:00, just in time for the High Flyers Show at Pools Amphitheatre. There, many birds showed us many flying stunts like the hornbills who caught pieces of food in mid-air or the macaw who flew through really small hoops. Section 1 (Tram Stop 1-Tram Stop 2) Wetlands: The Wetlands enclosure was an exhibit which had scarlet ibises, spoonbills and other terrestrial birds whose natural habitat is a wetland. Royal Ramble: This enclosure gave us the chance to see crowned pigeons and green peafowls up-close without a cage or even a glass separating us from them. Hornbills and Toucans: The largest of its kind, this exhibit had a lot of hornbills and toucans including the African pied hornbill and the Toco toucan. Hornbill...
