Singapore Oceanarium has launched Animal Spotlight: Seahorses, a new guided experience focused on native seahorses and local marine biodiversity.
The experience joins the oceanarium’s Animal Spotlight series, which has previously featured manta rays, corals and sea jellies.
Available daily, the 45-minute programme is limited to eight participants per session and is led by animal care specialists. The experience offers close-up encounters and personalised insights into Singapore’s marine ecosystems.
Participants explore key habitats within the oceanarium before entering the newly opened Seahorse Support Area. Here, guests can observe feeding sessions and learn about seahorse care, breeding and specialised husbandry practices.
The programme also highlights the distinctive biology of seahorses, including male pregnancy and specialised hunting techniques, as well as the environmental pressures they face – habitat loss, pollution and incidental bycatch continue to threaten wild populations across the region.
Guests will gain insight into ongoing conservation initiatives and research partnerships in South-east Asia, including monitoring surveys and collaborative efforts supported by Singapore Oceanarium to help safeguard seahorses and their habitats.
Animal Spotlight: Seahorses is priced at S$28 (US$21) per participant, excluding oceanarium admission. Each session includes an exclusive programme lanyard and credential.
