Why Book a Guide

Experience Singapore Aquarium
like never before

Singapore Oceanarium contains 22 themed zones, 800+ species and 35 million litres of water. Without a guide, most visitors see only the surface. With an OceanGuide SG expert, every exhibit becomes a story — of evolution, ecology, behaviour and conservation. We reveal what you cannot read on a sign.

Our guides are stationed across all zones of the Sea World Singapore complex — from the opening Jellyfish Hall to the deepest Abyss exhibit. Every guide knows the individual animals by name, the latest research data from the Conservation Centre, and the most surprising facts about every species in the Singapore New Oceanarium collection.

Visitor Reviews

What Visitors Say

★★★★★

Our guide Dr. Wei Lin made the Shark Tunnel an experience we will talk about for years. She knew every shark by name, described their behaviours in real-time, and answered every question our kids had. The best-guided experience we have ever had at any aquarium or Sea World.

★★★★★

We booked the Open Ocean Dive experience through OceanGuide SG and it was the single most remarkable dive of my life. Swimming alongside three giant manta rays in 18 million litres at Singapore Aquarium is impossible to describe. The pre-dive briefing by our guide was superb.

Kenji T.
Tokyo, Japan · Dive Experience
★★★★★

Brought 60 students from Raffles Institution for the school science tour. The guide adapted the content perfectly for JC students — genuinely university-level marine biology delivered in an accessible way. The Jellyfish Lab feeding session was the highlight. Highly recommend OceanGuide SG.
