“We had a wonderful experience with Panda on the The Marine Wonders at Shanghai Ocean Aquarium tour. I went with my 11- and 4-year-old children, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. The organization was excellent, with clear explanations and great care for families. The aquarium is amazing—very well maintained, clean, and full of attractions that delight both children and adults. My kids were fascinated, especially by the underwater tunnels and the wide variety of marine animals. It was both educational and fun. The Panda team was very attentive and patient with the children, always concerned about our comfort and safety, which made a big difference when traveling…”

4.Ocean Park Full-Day Coach Tour with Hotel Pickup in Kowloon Area from Hong Kong

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 7 reviews · from $73

Spend a day at Ocean Park Hong Kong with admission, an English-speaking guide, and return coach transport from selected Kowloon hotels. See penguins, seals, and the Grand Aquarium, then choose rides such as Hair Raiser and Raging River. Pickup details matter, and some departures may include a jewelry stop.

“Bus pick up from hotel was late, then we sat for 40 mins at a meeting point to then get onto another bus to be taken to the park. Dolphins were shut, pandas were not out and visible. Que for all ride 45-60 minute waiting time. We only got approx 5hrs at Park. Not a full day tour as we had paid for. Very disappointed.....”
