Swimming with the sharks

Please read our terms and conditions carefully before participating. If on arrival it appears that the conditions cannot be met, the participant will be denied participation and there is no possibility of a refund.

Have you always wanted to swim with sharks? And did you think this was only possible in far away, tropical places? Then we have some good news for you!

It is now possible for everyone, of any age, to swim and even feed them under professional supervision and in a specially designed diving cage.

Package content:

You will receive an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of the Bluereef Aquarium Zeeland led by one of our expert animal caretakers. Here you get a look at the nursery of the sharks and rays and an explanation of the different animals that live in our aquariums. We will also tell you about the quarantine where new, injured or sick animals are staying.

Then the real “work” begins; feeding the sharks! The animal caretakers will assist you with feeding these fascinating animals. You will be wearing a wetsuit with a diving mask to feed the different types of sharks with a pair of tongs. For the welfare of our animals, it is strictly forbidden to enter our aquarium with your own equipment.

Price: € 60 per person (excluding entrance to the park).

Reservations can be made by email via [email protected] of by phone: +31 111 655 663
