The Main Aquarium in Gran Canaria
Poema del Mar is a modern aquarium in Las Palmas, built as one flowing walk-through. You start in green jungle habitats, move through bright coral reef zones full of tropical fish, and finish in the deep ocean, standing in front of a huge curved window where sharks and rays glide past. It is a calm, easy activity that works for families, couples and solo travellers alike.
Because it is entirely indoors and air-conditioned, it is one of the most reliable things to do in Gran Canaria when the weather is not beach-friendly, whether that is strong heat, rain or a dusty calima day.
