Traveller reviews
Our guide gave us clear timing and left us to enjoy the aquarium at our own pace.
No queue problems and no confusing meeting point. We appreciated the simple organization.
The aquarium was worth seeing, but visitors from Side should understand that the transfer is a real part of the day. Once we arrived, entry was smooth and we could walk around at our own pace. The kids liked the snow room almost as much as the fish tunnel. I would recommend it, but not if your children hate coach rides.
The aquarium was busier than expected, but the tunnel section still felt special.
The driver found our hotel easily and messaged before arriving. Aquarium was clean and well laid out. Tbh, we were happy with it.
Good choice for a cloudy morning. We were back at the hotel with time for dinner.
