Description

Discover the underwater world of the Philippine archipelago on a guided tour of Manila Ocean Park. Walk through an underwater tunnel, see native marine life, and learn about conservation efforts.
Meet your guide at the main entrance of Manila Ocean Park and begin a 2-hour journey through the underwater world of the Philippine islands.

Start in the Oceanarium, the largest oceanarium in the Philippines, and learn how the country’s location in the Coral Triangle makes it one of the most biodiverse marine regions on Earth.

Continue to the Shark & Ray Zone, where you will observe nurse sharks, black-blotched stingrays, Jenkin’s rays, and leopard whiprays. Your guide will explain the vital role sharks and rays play in keeping marine ecosystems balanced.

Next, step into the iconic 220° underwater tunnel. As sharks, rays, and colorful tropical fish swim above and around you, experience the feeling of walking on the ocean floor.

Then, explore the Bahura coral reef exhibit, featuring 48 aquariums filled with reef fish and invertebrates. Learn why coral reefs support around 25% of all marine species despite covering less than 1% of the ocean floor.

In the Laot exhibit, discover native Philippine marine life, including the giant grouper and eagle rays. Your guide will share how the Philippines’ many islands create unique habitats and why these species are vulnerable to overfishing and habitat loss.

End your tour with the park’s marine conservation story. Learn about the “I Love My Ocean Planet” initiative, plastic pollution reduction, coastal cleanups, and coral reef restoration. Your guide will also share simple actions travelers can take to help protect the ocean.
