Coral World Ocean Park By Land And Sea

Coral World Ocean Park by Land and Sea

Location: St. Thomas/St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands

Embark on an eye-opening undersea adventure aboard the Nautilus VI semi-submarine before immersing yourself in the amazing ocean complex of Coral World Ocean Park.

Surrender to the sprawling views of beautiful St. Thomas as you embark on a scenic 25-minute journey past a panorama of sun-kissed beaches and clear-blue water, to Coral World Ocean Park. Originally established thirty years ago, Coral World Ocean Park is St. Thomas' most famous tourist destination, and is dedicated to the education and conservation of marine life through interactive exhibits and entertaining attractions for the entire family. Upon your arrival, board the Nautilus VI, one of the world's most advanced semi-submarines, and take in a guided 45-minute underwater ocean tour. Sit back, relax and revel in the intimate glimpse of marine life eight feet beneath sea level as you gaze out from the boat's submerged viewing windows. Marvel at the uniquely shaped coral gardens and lose yourself to the myriad of tropical fish that dart back and forth.

After your 45-minute adventure, make your way back onto land and enjoy 90 minutes of free time to explore Coral Reef Ocean Park on your own. Stroll through the three-story underwater observation tower, come face-to-face with a shark at the Deep Reef Tank, or say hello to a friendly stingray at the Stingray Pool. Finally, after your day is done, unwind with a scenic 25-minute ride back to the ship.
