Odysseo opened on the harbour front at Les Salines in Port Louis. Its tanks show the marine life of Mauritius and the Indian Ocean, from coral reef fish to sharks, turtles and rays, with a strong conservation angle and interactive displays.

Allow about 2 hours. It's a good rainy-day plan, or a cool break on a hot Port Louis day.
