About

Discover Malta's Underwater World

Step into the Malta National Aquarium, the largest marine attraction in the Maltese Islands, and immerse yourself in a fascinating aquatic experience. This popular destination showcases more than 250 species across over 41 themed tanks, taking you on a journey through different marine environments that surround Malta and beyond.

Explore Five Unique Zones

Your visit begins with themed zones that replicate Malta’s distinctive aquatic environments and history. In Zone 1, traverse the Western Shoreline and Submarine area featuring native Mediterranean fish such as gilt-head sea bream and European sea bass. Continue onward to gaze at Valletta Harbour’s scorpionfish and learn about seafaring life in Malta.

Zone 2 welcomes you to Valletta Harbour, where you will encounter harbour-based marine life, showcasing the diversity found along Malta’s bustling coastline. Each zone is thoughtfully curated to reveal the local ecosystem’s wild inhabitants.

Step into Zone 3 for a glimpse of the Tropical Oceans. Here, colourful exotic fish and diverse coral species transport you to faraway reefs, highlighting the contrasts between Malta’s natural waters and tropical environments.

Experience ancient history in Zone 4, themed after Roman Times. Discover a remarkable shipwreck display that includes a replica anchor believed to resemble the one used by St Paul during his historical shipwreck on the islands. Observe species associated with these storied past waters as you explore this visually captivating exhibit.

Zone 5 centers on Gozo and Comino, Malta’s sister islands. Admire the Azure Window display, a recreation of the iconic arch alongside the Xwejni salt pans, as well as shimmering tanks that represent the famed Blue Lagoon’s crystal-clear water and thriving marine life.

Main Tank and Tunnel Experience

The aquarium’s highlight is the Main Tank, a 12-meter-diameter basin replicating the Indo-Pacific Ocean. As you stroll through its glass tunnel, enjoy close-up views of bamboo sharks, rays, eels and distinctive species like black tip and zebra sharks swimming overhead. The panoramic tunnel offers a thrilling, immersive perspective for all ages.

If you visit at 1pm or 4pm, you may witness skilled staff feed the sharks, adding an exciting live interaction to your adventure.

Reptile and Amphibian Zone

Beyond marine life, the aquarium features a Reptile and Amphibian area. Spot leopard geckos, Argentine tegus and poison dart frogs alongside unique invertebrates and tarantulas, expanding your understanding of the island’s ecological diversity.
