The oceans around Western Cape is amazingly diverse with the cold Atlantic on the west cost and the Warm Indian Ocean that stretches eastwards after Cape Agulhas, the most southerly tip of Africa and also the place where the two oceans meet.

Situated at the V & A Waterfront you'll find the Two Oceans Aquarium that is a great place to spend a rainy day in Cape Town. They display the vast and amazing diversity of the waters off our coastline. It is listed as one of Cape Town's Top attraction with over 3000 living species ranging from sand fish to the majestic ragged tooth shark. Some of the other marine life you could see are seals, turtles, penguins.

One of the activities to really enjoy was the touch pools where you can get up close and personal with a variety of small marine plants and coral.

For those in search of an adrenaline rush (and are a certified diver )a session in the predictor tank can be an amazing experience. Staying at the predictor tank a great thing to do is watch the fish being fed daily at 3pm and the sharks getting fed on Sundays at 3pm.

The Two Oceans Aquarium is also one of only 2 kelp forest displays is the world with the other being in Monterey Bay in the USA.

There is also a lovely restaurant where you will find everything fishy(veggies catered for too) and also some scrumptious desserts. There's also a curio shop. The whole attraction is open Monday to Sunday from 9:30pm to 6pm everyday of the year.
