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.

Great museum of local species and fishery. They are doing a good job on helping a sea turtle.
