Really had a great morning at the Umhlanga sharks board today. Very insightful and interesting. The disection really was eye opening too and kids and I learnt a lot

Great boat trip this morning with sharks board boat but too few visitors for the shark dissection.

Amazing experience, as you get there you go into a 20 min movie that tells you about sharks and a little legend on how sharks became the king of the sea. Once its over you go on to the dissection part where they open up a shark (usually frozen from a couple months ago) and they show you its liver, stomach, intestines and heart. The guide is very knowlegable! These take place from Tuesday to Thursday at 9am and 2pm. (Nevertheless call before to confirm)
After you can have a look around a little museum they have.

Excelente actividad para todas las edades.
Comienza con un pequeño video explicativo sobre tiburones y luego una disección de un tiburon donde hay explicación y se muestran diferentes órganos del tiburon.
Para finalizar es posible ver un pequeño museo acerca de estos reyes del mar.
El horario de disecciones es de martes a jueves a las 9am y 2pm. El valor son R50.
De todos modos conviene llamar antes de ir.

Kids enjoy visiting the sharks board. Would be nice if the video is updated yearly. Great learning experience.

Good for kids. But boy that audio visual show ( per their site: slow pans, aerial visuals, was clearly meant to impress people from another decade). I fell asleep. I plan to go back but I will show up 28 minutes late to skip that audio-visual presentation. And I hope this time they have a fresh shark and not last months re-freeze.

I can't say much about it because I forgot my hand bag there yesterday ????????????as we were attending the wedding, I guess I had much fun and I left it on the table and drove off ????????????

The most dreadful presentation. We spent more time "giving a round of applause", for what, I'm not sure! The presentation was geared for very young chiildren, it was boring and amateurish.
