Newquay's Blue Reef Aquarium offers visitors a dazzling undersea safari through the oceans of the world.

Overlooking the mighty Atlantic Ocean, Blue Reef lets you explore Cornwalls hidden treasures in a series of naturally themed displays highlighting the incredible variety of creatures - from starfish to stingrays - living just beyond the surf.

Visitors to Blue Reef are then transported to the spectacular 'underwater gardens' of the Mediterranean and the stunning beauty of tropical waters - home to everything from seahorses and puffer fish to living corals and moray eels.

At its heart is a giant tropical ocean tank where an underwater walk through tunnel offers incredible close encounters with tropical sharks, and thousands of colourful reef fish.

Don't miss the Blue Reef Nursery, giant crabs and the largest Octopus species found on earth!

More than 30 naturally themed displays reveal the sheer variety of life in the deep.
