Begin the journey by travelling back in time to discover Asia’s maritime heritage at The Maritime Experiential Museum™. Then enter and explore the marine realm of S.E.A. Aquarium™, home to more than 100,000 marine animals of over 800 species, across into 49 different habitats, each one as fascinating as the next. It’s an experience you won’t forget.
Strait of Karimata & Java Sea
Venture through the fascinating world beneath the Strait of Karimata, located on the lower-eastern side of Sumatra, and be astounded by a monumental shipwreck with a splintered hull that has evolved into a thriving marine habitat. See how squadrons of pompano, threadfin trevally and batfish and other marine animals such as goliath grouper and Napoleon wrasse seek refuge within and near the shipwreck as they cruise through the waters of the Java Sea. From once carrying treasures across the ocean, to now harbouring the ocean’s marine life treasures, shipwrecks continue to shape the world beneath the oceans and seas. Find out how the Shipwreck Habitat was created.

Strait of Malacca & Andaman Sea
Go on a
wondrous underwater journey through the Strait of Malacca and the Andaman Sea
where fascinating ‘magnified’ encounters with marine life await. Walk across a
floor of glass and watch the predators and other ocean denizens swim right
beneath your feet! Further ahead, explore the waters of Singapore and seagrass
habitats of Malacca, home to lively leopard and blue flasher wrasses. Treat
your children and the child in you to an interactive learning experience as our
Mariner shares lessons about the knobbly sea star, pencil sea urchin, sea
cucumber and more at our Discovery Touch Pool. Read more about how the Strait
of Malacca & Andaman Sea is the perfect nurturing grounds for fishes before
they venture out into the open ocean.
Bay of Bengal & Laccadive Sea
Uncover the
mysteries of the Sundarbans Mangrove, home to a myriad of endangered plants and
animals found along the coast of the Bay of Bengal. Discover mangrove
inhabitants such as mudskippers, spotted scats, archerfish and silver batfish
that use the extensive network of mangrove tree roots as nesting and nursery
areas. Around the corner, spy on curious spotted garden eels popping in and out
of their sand burrows and “find Nemo” as well as reef lobsters, white-rayed
antenna gobies, long-nose hawkfish and other jewels of the Coral Reef. Further
along lies the Patch Reef of Brain Corals and majestic Staghorn Corals, leading
to a reef drop similar to those found in the Laccadive Sea, teeming with unique
fish species such as the queen angelfish, yellowface angelfish, imperator
angelfish and others.
Ocean Journey
As you make
your way further into the ocean, come face-to-face with our indo-pacific
bottlenose dolphins. Learn the surprising facts about these speedy swimmers as
they enthrall you with their underwater grace and prowess. Nearby, immerse
yourself in the magical and mesmerising world of synchronised fish! Few marine
scenes are more intriguing and hypnotic than a school of fish swimming in
unison. In an instant, the school changes direction with none of the fish
colliding into one another. Check out the cool marine life in the Cold Water
habitats such as giant spider crab, chambered nautilus and other unique
species. Recharge your energy with the electrifying pulsating dances of the
translucent sea jelly species like the trailing long-tentacled lion’s mane sea
jelly, the captivating neon blue sea jelly and the larger-than-life moon sea
jelly.Open Ocean
No other
place brings you closer to a more diverse collection of marine life than the
Open Ocean experience. Let your imagination swim as a panoramic marine vista
engulfs you. This magical realm is home to gentle giants of the sea including
the leopard shark, goliath grouper, saw fish, mahi mahi and a never-before-seen
squadron of magnificent manta rays. Watch poetry in motion as glittering
schools of scads, fusiliers and rainbow runners create a continuous dance in
perfect unison.
Persian Gulf & Arabian Sea
The warm waters of the Arabian Sea
and the Persian Gulf make up one of the largest marine sanctuaries in the
world. Viewed from the rugged and harsh Rocky Shore of the Gulf, you will
encounter blue-spotted stingray and be mesmerised by schools of glistening
sweeper and silver batfish. You also will delight in meeting rocky shore
inhabitants like the sally lightfoot crab, the spider-like eight-armed seastar
and other unusual semi-aquatic creatures. Discover the captivating underwater
hanging gardens – both the iridescent Soft Coral Garden and the Overhanging
Coral Reef where curious reef fish like the broomtail wrasse, purple tang and
yellowband swim and frolic amongst these colourful living colonies.
Red Sea
Often called the “rainforest of the
sea”, the Red Sea is home to a diverse range of soft and hard corals because of
its warm waters and high salt content. The Coral Reef habitat offers glimpses
of a vast array of marine life in one of the most beautiful ecosystems in the
world. Watch in wonder as warm-water fish like fairy basslet, yellow boxfish,
orange striped triggerfish, fire shrimp and long-horned cowfish swim amongst
sea fans and coral colonies.
East Africa
As you travel across the Great Lakes
of East Africa, be awestruck by the tremendous diversity of fish, many of which
evolved within the lakes and are found nowhere else in the world. The two
freshwater lake habitats of Africa, Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika, are home
to an astounding variety of fish adorned in all colours of the rainbow. Some of
the native african cichlids include the frontosa, kribensis, and mbuna, which
share their home with the predatory african tigerfish armed with dagger-shaped,
interlocking teeth. They are often found near the lake bed and hunt in fierce,
voracious packs. It is no wonder that they are considered the piranhas of
Africa!
South China Sea
The colourful bright stripes on the body and fins of the lionfish serve as a warning to all, as they swim by confidently displaying their poisonous outstretched barbs. Try to spot a variety of lobsters hiding amongst the rocks and rubble surrounding the ship’s anchor as squirrelfish and soldierfish hide under the reef overhangs. The moray eel habitat is not to be missed. Kids can crawl into a “cave” and pop their heads through a dome for up-close views of the moray eels in their niches and crevices.
