Ranked among Europe's finest aquariums, Poema del Mar is an architectural and marine marvel just steps from the port — its centrepiece a 33-million-litre deep-ocean tank inspired by an underwater volcano. A private guide transforms it into an intimate marine biology masterclass.
What to expect
Move through immersive biotopes replicating the Canarian coastline, tropical reefs, and open ocean, culminating in the spectacular 8-metre-deep tunnel beneath the main tank. The private guide narrates the conservation mission behind each habitat. Conclude with a coffee at the aquarium's sky-view terrace overlooking the harbour.
Good to know
The aquarium is a 5-minute walk from the cruise terminal — ideal if time ashore is limited. Book private guided slots directly via the official website. Open daily; morning slots offer the quietest experience. Allow 2–2.5 hours.
