My recommandations
- Buy tickets online. With the QR code, you can access the oceanarium directly, and there’s no need to queue as it’s often very busy on rainy days and weekends.
- For residents and citizens of Mauritius, you can take a look at Marideal to see if there are any promotions on admission.
- You’ll find an outdoor snack area right in the middle of the tour. A great place for a snack, coffee or ice cream. Take advantage of the outdoor aquariums to observe stingrays and sharks.
- Take advantage of this outing to make a detour to Caudan, accessible via the swing bridge.
- We like to take the metro express, the local tramway that runs from Port Louis to Curepipe.
- We get off at Victoria Terminal in Port Louis, then walk to Odysseo.
