Phuket Aquarium

Whether you confine yourself to a walk along the beach or engage in swimming, snorkelling and scuba-diving, there’s no doubt that marine-related activities are one of the prime attractions for visitors to Phuket. For those who are inclined to do their research in a more leisurely style, or who would like to know more about Phuket’s surrounding waters and its marine life, the Phuket Aquarium is the answer. The aquarium, which is also a marine life research centre, is located right on the tip of Cape Panwa and is a 13-kilometre drive from Phuket City. There’s a local bus service to the aquarium, which leaves Ranong Road daily from 9am to 3pm, every hour.
