Visitors can start their tour from the waters around Plymouth itself in an area called Plymouth Sound, filled with animals that dwell in the shallow local waters like rays, sea stars and lobsters.
Moving on and further out, the next area of the tour, called British Coast, shows visitors samples of sea-life from all along the British coastal areas, including a special tank containing the creatures that make their home in the Eddystone reef, a vibrant patch of sea-life less than 20 kilometres off Plymouth.

In this same area we see beautiful round tanks housing a number of jelly-fish species such as Upside-down jellyfish, Japanese sea nettles and moon jellies all a delight to watch as they float along.
The tour ends with the Blue Planet area, which gives visitors an overall view of the Worlds’ oceans and sea-life. It contains the second largest tank in the UK and holds the largest diversity of fish in the Aquarium. 70 species of some of the most colourful fish in the world swim around in the Great Barrier Reef exhibit housed in this tank.
One of the best facts about this entire experience is that everything goes towards educating its visitors about ocean conservation because it is a registered UK charity that generates its own income by way of ticket sales. Hence, just by entering here, visitors know that they have helped further ocean conservation in the UK and around the World.
After a day of exploring the world’s oceans at the National Marine Aquarium, perhaps the best place to lay your head has to be 4 star UK hotels. Offering some of the finest such hotels in London, the Millennium & Copthorne Hotels UK is a world famous hotel chain.
