Aquarium Finisterrae – Guided Visit (1.5 hours)
Guided experience with explanations in English. Visit the exhibition halls, the impressive Maremagnum tank, the Humboldt Room, and the Botanical Garden. Opportunity to watch the seals during feeding time (subject to schedule).
11:30 – Shark Feeding (Main Tank)
We visit the main tank, home to several species of sharks and other fish. During feeding time, you will observe how sharks react to food and learn that they are not as dangerous as commonly believed. Fun fact: Sharks existed before dinosaurs.
12:00 – Seal Feeding (Outdoor Pools)
Outside, we will meet nine highly intelligent seals. Each one has its own personality; they know how to “ask” for food and respond to trainers’ signals. This is one of the most enjoyable moments of the visit.
Riazor Beach – Panoramic Stop
Panoramic views of A Coruña’s main urban beach. Guests may choose to stay and return to the cruise terminal independently (approx. 10-minute walk), or continue with the group for drop-off at the original port meeting point.
