We really enjoyed this moment! It was a moment of serenity. Everything goes smoothly, especially after the boat madness to the dolphin swim which was truly horrible.
It’s 1 pond with plenty of Turtles, they are apparently injured in the wild and brought to Aquarium to recover, these turtles have no marks and are in perfect condition. You will stay for about an hour possibly 2max. It’s 10 dollars each on the gate, we hired a car to keep tour costs down, 100% worth it as this would have been very disappointing at 40 dollars each.
Thank you for your review, we hope to see you again here and you can recommend your friends to enjoy zanzibar
The aquarium is great. There is no need to pay for a tour company to meet you at the aquarium and provide you tickets. We got there and the guide wasn’t there and we found out he never purchased our tickets. When he showed up he said hello and told us to go straight in but that was it. Tickets at the counter are 8$ per person. Makes more sense to book directly with the aquarium rather than hand a tour company an extra 40$ to just show up and say hello.
Hello, thank you for your review, sorry for that but we will speak with guides, and I will make sure that this never happens again.
We don't really know where the turtles came from. I visited with Makuti. Be careful the steps are slippery to go into the water. There are 2 aquariums with swimming with turtles.
Thanks for your reviews,
