Experience Activities
Glass Exploration Boat: Unlike snorkeling, the glass exploration boat allows you to get up close to marine life without getting wet, making it perfect for those who can’t swim. The boat’s bottom is made of glass, and as it slowly moves along the “sea surface”, you can watch sharks, stingrays, and tropical fish swim beneath your feet. It’s as if you’ve become a “daughter of the sea” enjoying a happy journey with them. The staff will also provide a live commentary on the fish’s habits, helping you immerse yourself in their world.
Underwater Adventure VR Experience: Become an excellent diver and activate all your senses to start your underwater journey. Whales, sharks, stingrays, and other sea creatures you’ve only seen in videos now appear around you, swimming together in the ocean. It’s thrilling yet healing, offering a whole new perspective for you to explore.
4D Movie Experience: The story of “The Bear and the Squirrel” comes to life with high-energy sound and visual effects.
