uShaka Sea World è un mondo magico per i fanatici di immersioni ma poco frequentato da altri turisti. Questo meraviglioso acquario con lo sfondo di un naufragio è collegato al delfinario dove hanno luogo tutto il giorno meravigliosi spettacoli di delfini, balene e pinguini. C'è anche una laguna dove fare snorking e una piscina. I sommozzatori danno da mangiare ai pesci, alle tartarughe giganti e gli squali sono impressionanti. Sea World è gestito da SAAMBR (L'associazione sudafricana per la ricerca di biologia marina), una organizzazione non governativa che include anche il Centro educativo Sea World e l'istituto oceanografico di ricerca.
