Lost World Aquarium & immersions (Atlantis)

Step into the Lost World Aquarium at Atlantis The Palm, an immersive aquarium built around the legend of the lost city of Atlantis. Through its galleries and its sets, you meet more than 65,000 marine animals, sharks, rays and tropical fish among them.

Beyond the aquarium visit, several experiences take you further in. Depending on the option, you can snorkel at the surface of the Ambassador Lagoon, walk underwater wearing a helmet, or take a real scuba dive among thousands of marine animals.

Beginner, snorkeler or certified diver: the formats suit different levels and ages. Pick the one you want when you book.

Ultimate Snorkeling stays at the surface of the Ambassador Lagoon, from age 6, about 20 minutes in the water, with a briefing, wetsuit, vest, mask and snorkel, towel, water and same-day access to the Lost World Aquarium.

Shark Safari has you walking underwater in a helmet that lets you breathe normally, with no tank to carry, from age 10 and fully supervised.

Dive Discovery is an introduction to scuba diving, from age 10 and with no prior certification, with equipment handling, exercises and then a guided visit of the lagoon, about 30 minutes underwater. Dive Explorer is for certified divers, valid certification to be shown on the day, for about 30 minutes in the lagoon.

A spectator who does not do the activity can enter the aquarium for 120 AED, about 30 €. Meeting point: Atlantis The Palm, Palm Jumeirah.
