SEA LIFE Hunstanton

Learn about life under the sea at SEA LIFE Hunstanton The world below the sea is rich and complex, filled with curious life and astonishing creatures.  When you arrive at SEA LIFE Hunstanton Sanctuary on the coast of Norfolk, you get to take a peek into this world - and what a world it is. A highlight for both adults and kids is watching the adorable Asian short-clawed otters, with their tiny ears, wander around their home at Otter River. You might even catch them tucking into one of their favourite treats, peanuts!  From there, you'll get the chance to meet the resident seals at Hunstanton Sanctuary. Walk up to the underwater viewing window and watch them glide through the water. Seals are curious animals, so if you're watching them, you'll more than likely find them watching you back! Shark lover? Spot the likes of blacktip reef sharks and dogfish above you as you make your way through the Ocean Tunnel.  Watch them glide through the blue waters with their sharp teeth on display. There's something totally transfixing about how they move their bodies. Just a flick of the tail and they go from a slow glide to a darting torpedo. Say hello to sharks, penguins, otters, mermaids and Nemo! See the soft waves lapping against the hard stones when you visit the blue regal tangs and clownfish at the Tropical Reef displays. The kids will love seeing the real-life equivalent of Finding Nemo play out before them. A visit to Penguin Beach comes with a guarantee of smiles. Humboldt penguins are a remarkable species that never fail to entertain.  Their high-pitched calls to one another and waddling walks have made them a favourite with visitors young and old. They're playful animals, and you might even be lucky enough to catch them splashing about in the water. The kids will be stunned when they see a real-life mermaid in action! It's a perfect opportunity to ask her about the ocean secrets and take a photo as she sits on a stunning seashell with her colourful scaly tail. Parents and guardians - we recommend pre-booking this for a truly unforgettable experience.
