Delve into the underwater diversity at East London Aquarium, a small animal observation and educational center that brings the region's marine heritage to life. Opened in 1931, the aquarium ranks as the oldest in the country, and regularly brings in abused, neglected, or injured animals, and rehabilitates them until they can return to the wild. Step out onto the wooden boardwalk to catch sights of dolphins and whales (including right and humpback) off the coast, and pay a visit to the colony of African penguins on site.

The aquarium was very nice. The workers who feed the animals are very friendly and let you feed the animals too. The entry fee is also not very expensive . The tour guides are also very helpful and friendly
