uShaka Sea World es un mundo de maravillas y magia conocido por los buzos pero oculto para la mayoría de las personas. Este magnífico acuario temático de naufragios está conectado con el acuario de delfines, donde estos deliciosos especímenes, las focas y los pingüinos hacen su show demostración todo el día. También hay una laguna para practicar esnórquel y una piscina de contacto. Los buceadores alimentan a los peces, a las tortugas gigantes y a las pastinacas de su mano, aunque los tiburones inspiran incierto temor. Sea World está administrado por la Asociación Sudafricana de investigaciones de biología marina SAAMBR por sus siglas en ingles, una organización no gubernamental sin fines de lucro que también incluye al Centro de educación marina de Sea World y el Instituto de investigaciones oceanográficas.

Most of the popular bathing beaches in Kwazulu-Natal are protected by shark nets maintained by the KZN Sharks Board. Each day, crews on ski boats check the nets and collect any snared sharks. These are brought back to the institute, dissected and studied. There are regular one-hour tours which include a peek into the enormous freezer where the shark carcasses are stored, a shark dissection, and a fascinating audiovisual presentation. There is an interesting curio shop offering sharkskin leather goods and sharks teeth. Boat tours may also be arranged (USD 15). Some of these exhibits are not for the faint-hearted.

The park is located near the city centre in the Bulwer area and is readily accessible from King George V Road. This small park is distinguished as a natural heritage site because it contains many indigenous trees, including the Natal Elm, and preserves something of the original coastal environment. The bird life is good too, as you would expect in an indigenous environment. A 500m trail runs on either side of the valley. Beware of biting insects, especially in the summer.
