This summer, SeaWorld® Yas Island, Abu Dhabi, the World’s Largest Indoor Marine Life Theme Park, invites guests to fuel their passion for exploration, discovery, and learning through a myriad of interactive experiences, educational presentations, thrilling rides, and unforgettable animal encounters! Whether diving deep into one of the world’s largest multi-species aquariums or staying above the surface with a serene kayak ride at Tropical Ocean, guests are free to chart their own unique adventure.

Since the Marine Life Theme Park’s opening in 2023, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi has continuously innovated, offering novel and groundbreaking experiences that blend entertainment with marine life education, setting new standards in edutainment for marine life theme parks.

“At SeaWorld Abu Dhabi, we strive to ignite a passion for the ocean in every guest,” says Carlos Rodriguez, Deputy General Manager at SeaWorld Abu Dhabi. “Whether its the first-time or returning, our goal is to offer all our guests a memorable experience with new adventures and lifetime memories to be shared. In a capital surrounded by water, it is crucial that we educate our community about the marine environment that envelops us, and how we can both protect and thrive alongside it. We believe that by providing immersive and educational experiences, we can inspire a deeper understanding of our local marine environment, our broader one ocean, and the importance of its conservation.”

This summer, guests can delve deeper than ever before with the introduction of the revolutionary ‘SeaSub,’ the world’s first submersible crafted specifically for an aquarium, unlocking breathtaking underwater perspectives. This joins a diverse portfolio of SeaWorld Encounters, now totaling 11 distinct opportunities for guests to get closer to marine life.

In addition to the unforgettable ‘SeaSub,’ guests can enjoy unique up-close moments with Malquot, a gentle rescued dugong, and learn more about one of Abu Dhabi’s native species and the surrounding sea turtles. Over in Tropical Ocean, ‘Kayak on Tropical Lagoon,’ allows guests to paddle through the dolphin habitat, soak up the tropical sunshine, and even catch a playful splash from the dolphins. These are just two of the Marine Life Theme Park’s six additional animal encounters, which also include memorable moments with walruses, penguins, sea otters, dolphins and sea lions.

Guests can make their way to Explorer HQ and experience four thrilling underwater experiences in the region’s largest aquarium, hosted by SeaWorld Abu Dhabi’s expert team of marine and diving specialists, including the ‘SeaSub.’ For first timers, ‘Discover Scuba Diving’ allows guests to try scuba diving without a certificate and learn the basics of scuba diving. Certified divers can take it a step further with ‘SeaDive,’ getting into their wetsuits and diving freely into the vastness of the Endless Ocean aquarium, surrounded by schools of fish, graceful rays, and other magnificent marine life. For a more accessible journey beneath the surface, ‘SeaVenture’ invites guests on an underwater walking tour, perfect for all abilities and fully POD-friendly, offering a unique glimpse of marine life beneath the ocean surface.

Across the park’s eight uniquely themed realms, guests can encounter incredible biodiversity. From the vibrant flamingos, tropical birds and playful dolphins, to sharks, rays, schooling fish and charismatic sea otters, each experience fosters a deeper appreciation for marine life. Through the inspiring “One Ocean” story woven throughout the Marine Life Theme Park, SeaWorld Abu Dhabi highlights the vital interconnectedness of all life on Earth and the ocean, inspiring a commitment to conservation.

Beneath the iconic One Ocean globe, guests can gain rare insight at the Animal Care Center into the expert and around-the-clock care provided to the animals in our care.
