About
Discover a world of marine wonders at Odysseo Oceanarium, a unique destination dedicated to ocean discovery, education, and awareness. Spanning 5,500 m² of immersive spaces, Odysseo features 45 aquatic habitats with 2,000 m³ of pristine water, showcasing around 200 species and 3,500 marine specimens from the Indian Ocean. As the largest oceanarium in the Mascarene region and the first of its kind in Mauritius, Odysseo offers an unforgettable journey to explore, learn about, and connect with the fascinating world beneath the waves.
The aquarium is at walking distance of the Caudan waterfront. It is not that big and it takes approx. an hour to go through. We especially enjoyed the big watertanks with all squarks.

Great attraction for kids, only downside is when booking thru Marideal you have to make separate payments to obtain different vouchers/QR Code or else you will have to queue up for tickets again.

unexpectedly serene atmosphere, enjoyable as much as educational! especially appreciated the sofa with view, i think if the snack prices were a bit more reasonable, they might get more customers.
