A fascinating journey
The Odysseo journey is carefully designed to provide visitors with an immersive and enriching experience. Indeed, from the moment they enter the oceanarium, visitors are welcomed into a captivating world!
The journey – which can be done alone, with an audio guide, or accompanied by a guide – begins with an introduction presenting the main themes explored throughout the visit. Visitors are then guided through a series of thematic aquariums showcasing the region’s beauty and variety of marine species.
Interactive spaces allow visitors to get close to fascinating marine creatures while learning interesting facts about their lifestyle and significance. For example, visitors can encounter sharks by immersing themselves in one of the outdoor tanks!
Another highlight of the visit is a spectacular tunnel offering a 360-degree view of a realistically recreated underwater environment. Visitors find themselves surrounded by colourful fish, corals, and other ocean marvels – including sharks: a thrilling experience guaranteed.
Several spaces dedicated to education and conservation provide opportunities to learn more about the threats facing marine ecosystems and the actions Odysseo took to protect them, allowing visitors to better understand the importance of ocean preservation.
Odysseo, an oceanarium with a purpose
Far from being just an entertaining experience, Odysseo is fully committed to education and conservation programs and offers a variety of educational activities to raise awareness among visitors of all ages on the importance of preserving marine ecosystems.
Odysseo’s educational programs focus on interactive learning. Guided tours, themed presentations, and hands-on workshops allow visitors to discover the ocean’s secrets, all while having fun! Whether it’s schools, families, or groups, Odysseo provides learning opportunities tailored to each audience, fostering a lasting awareness of the fragility of our marine environment.
Odysseo also plays an active role in preserving marine ecosystems in the Indian Ocean by collaborating with local organisations and conservation experts to conduct research on marine species and implement targeted preservation initiatives. These actions include the rehabilitation of coastal habitats, protection of endangered species, and public awareness of environmental issues.
A visit to Odysseo allows visitors to contribute to these conservation efforts directly. A portion of the oceanarium’s revenue is reinvested in research and protection programs, ensuring a tangible contribution to preserving the underwater world.
