Go behind the glass at the Aquário Marinho do Brasil — the largest marine aquarium in Latin America — for an after-hours private encounter that puts you face-to-face with sharks, sea turtles, and thousands of Atlantic species.
What to expect
Your marine biologist host leads you through the aquarium's research corridors, explaining the rescue and rehabilitation programmes for local sea turtles and endemic Atlantic reef species. In the main cylindrical tank — Brazil's largest — you witness nurse sharks, rays, and dense shoals of trevally from an upper observation gallery reserved exclusively for private guests. Certified divers may arrange an in-tank dive alongside the resident marine life, accompanied by aquarium staff. The private tour concludes with a curated tasting of sustainable Catarinense seafood at the on-site restaurant.
