Shark Encounter

General information

Destination
Saint Thomas, Virgin Islands (U.S.)

Program details

Enter the world of these fascinating, magnificent, and misunderstood creatures through our educational Shark Encounter. Learn the truth and myths about the ocean’s top predators. After your orientation session, a guide will take you to the Shark Shallows where you will have an opportunity to enter the pool with a variety of juvenile sharks that inhabit the waters of the Virgin Islands.


View the sharks up close from above and below the water as they circle around you. Become a shark fan instead of a foe. To promote conservation of sharks, Coral World has recreated a shark nursery offering juvenile sharks every opportunity to grow in a safe environment before being released to the wild. A portion of proceeds go towards shark conservation.
