Spend a fascinating time at Odysseo, the largest oceanarium of the Mascarene Islands. Get ready to be amazed at the different species you will find in their natural habitat. A real treat for animal and sea lovers. For those who love marine biology and biodiversity, this is the best place to visit.
The newly built oceanarium is located in the capital of the island, in Port Louis - close to the harbour, which all will make you feel blended into the Ocean theme! Once you reach the oceanarium, prepare to face the cutest little fish which will remind you of Nemo to big scary sharks!

Should you wish to learn more about the amazing ocean surrounding us and its great underwater life, you can opt for option 2 which includes a guided visit of the whole park.

You can take a break from your visit anytime to grab a light bite at the food-garden and visit the Gift Shop to get yourself some souvenirs to remember this day by.
The Experience at Odysseo - The Oceanarium of Mauritius
The lagoon
Jump off the boat and immerse yourself in the heart of the Mauritian territory: the lagoon, its calm waters and surprisingly rich biodiversity. Discover the life of this unique ecosystem with its beaches, brightly multi-coloured fish, seagrass beds, mangroves and coral reefs.
Inland forests
After the lagoon, it is now time for a small excursion inland. There, just like in the entire oceanarium, you will discover species in their habitat. Explore the lakes, rivers and forests, and say hi to their diverse freshwater, insect and reptile inhabitants.
The coral reefs
As you leave the inland forest, dive into the majestic blue waters of the Indian Ocean to discover the coral reefs. This lively and fragile ecosystem will reveal its best kept secrets and astonishing biodiversity.
Open sea
Ready for a fully immersive experience? Stingrays, sharks, eels and a multitude of fish will swim alongside you when you pass through the tunnel. A real underwater trip without a scuba mask or tank.
The invertebrates
Did you know that invertebrates make up 95% of animal species on our planet? Take a journey through the fascinating world of these incredibly adaptive creatures and their fantastic evolutionary history.
Sub oceanic view
The mission: get people to understand sharks better. Unjustly persecuted, this fascinating prehistoric predator has adapted to our changing planet for millions of years and it is time to protect them. Discover, at the same time, how all oceans are interconnected.
