Get in

To ensure a seamless experience, booking in advance is essential. Contact the Bookings Co-ordinator at +27-21-418-3823 or [email protected] to arrange your bookings. If you're traveling from the airport, take the N2 South to Cape Town, staying in the right-hand lanes for Eastern Boulevard. Continue on the freeway until it ends, then turn right into the V&A Waterfront at the first set of traffic lights. Take the first left at the second traffic circle onto Port Road. Look for the Two Oceans Aquarium, a large red brick building on the right-hand side. For parking, head to Portswood Square across from the Aquarium, where hourly parking fees apply. If you're arriving at Cape Town Railway Station, take the Waterfront Bus or taxi from outside Texies Fisheries on Adderley Street. This bus or taxi will conveniently stop outside the Aquarium. Remember to meet the divemaster as agreed upon. While there are stairs to climb for three floors, a goods lift is available if you have your own equipment. Dive into the tanks from the roof area, as they are open to the sky. Stairs and ladders are provided for easy access to the dive platforms just above the water. Please note that climbing onto the platforms requires reasonable agility since there are no ladders into the water.
