Head to the Curacao Sea Aquarium to see sharks, turtles, stingrays, rockfish, flamingoes, and other species that are native to the local waters and surrounding shores. Highlights include Ocean Lens Curacao, an underwater observatory that includes a large underwater window overlooking the reef drop-off; a marine expert is on hand to explain the view.
Visitors can also explore the reefs and wrecks down to 1,000 feet (305 meters) in the aquarium’s “Curasub,” take a guided snorkeling trip, feed flamingos, enjoy touch tanks, or simply take a guided tour of the facility. The aquarium also hosts a variety of feedings and animal shows throughout the day.
