  • I was expecting for something better. Far away, without transportation and few information. Then you find a classroom and a few aquariums with local fishes.

  • An affordable and quick tour but a little small for what I expected and most aquariums didn't have the contents they advertised.
  • Great place to see the local sea fauna, it's very well kept and the staff is very nice. They also do special tours and environmental education for schools.
  • Amazing exhibition, you can learn and have a good time and have fun!
  • Great museum of local species and fishery. They are doing a good job on helping a sea turtle.
  • In a modest, yet still very concerned with accuracy and scientific knowlwdedge, the Museum and Aquarium reveals a little bit of the untold story of Portuguese fishing traditions. At the same it gives us a glimpse of the life and fishes of the, just aeound the corner, big ocean.
