Atlantis Aquaventure Shark Snorkel

Swim Among Sharks & Rays 

Admire the spectacular rays and sleek reef sharks swimming right below you as you glide calmly across Shark Lagoon's surface. You can get a broad perspective of these amazing animals in their native environment thanks to the pristine waters and thoughtfully planned lagoon, making for an experience that is both exhilarating and breathtaking.

Safe & Beginner-Friendly

You don't have to know how to dive or be a great swimmer. This sport is made to provide adrenaline without putting you in danger, with a safe barrier keeping you away from the sharks. Beginners and even slightly apprehensive participants can participate because trained guides are present throughout to assure your comfort and safety.

Educational & Fun

Snorkeling is only one aspect of the experience. You will learn about shark behavior, marine life, and the value of ocean conservation both before and during the session. For kids and families in particular, the Shark Snorkel's combination of adventure and education makes it both enjoyable and educational.

Family-Friendly Adventure

With a minimum age requirement of six, this activity is a great option for families who want to make enduring memories. While parents have a genuinely unique bonding experience with their children, children get the thrill of being near sharks and rays in a safe, regulated setting.

Exclusive Access

Your ticket is more than simply a snorkeling pass; it grants access to Atlantis Aquaventure Waterpark. After your session in Shark Lagoon, you may spend the rest of the day on record-breaking water slides, lazy rivers, and relaxing beaches, ensuring that you get the most out of your vacation.

Unforgettable Photo Opportunities

Capture your journey through underwater photography or professional pictures available at the park. Floating amid sharks and rays results in jaw-dropping photos that you'll want to share and keep forever.
