  • Elize Botes

My first time here. It was a good experience, but I would not go again. We went on the walk to the beach, and all the places where you can buy from and the restaurants seemed great. There were a lot of people just sitting around or standing around which made me feel uncomfortable. When we got to the beach it was littered and very busy. We still went for a swim though, but after the swim to wash of the salt, the showers werent working and it smelled terrible. The place could use some care to spruce it up again

  • Nombuso Mashamba

It's is filled with people trying to sell you time shares, which makes it rather annoying and when you do give them your time they request to take you to their store so that you can listen go an hour long presentation on why you should buy their time share and it's more than one company doing this. Outside of this, it is still s great place but it was affected by the floods which they have been trying to sort everything out and have the entire place running like before

  • Philani Shazi

You actually feel safe around this area. If you're hungry restaurants are 2 minutes away, parking is safe and is about 5 minutes away. You have an option of allowing your kids to play in the swimming pools while you'rebusy entertained by a Dj. You'll meet local entertainers and artists who will amuse you constantly. Shaka Marine World which is full life interesting real animals view is about 7 minutes away. It is always difficult to leave this area.

  • Edwin James

The aquarium is amazing, however, the seal and Dolphin shows were not worth the money spent. This used to be an amazing attraction but now the trainers and animals are limited in what they do and the show itself is very brief. Much of the time is spent educating people about conservation. The trainers need to polish up their delivery of their talks. Rather go to the aquarium only and avoid the seal and Dolphin shows.

  • Bernadette Freyer-Swartz

Absolutely stunning, and very neat. Great place to relax, and enjoy the great food at all the nice restaurants, at days even live music playing. We visited the 5D cinema, the dangerous creatures exhibit, kids got some funky tattoos, and did some shopping. Wish there were more a variety of other shops or a quick supermarket for necessities, but overall from Namibia it was a great experience.

  • Zane O Tankian

Interesting, Always a great ambiance and atmosphere... Surprisingly good bargins for shoppers... Always something to see, do or plan on coming back and doing. Keep up the good work Guys. You've become a local favorite as well as tourist. I have some ideas... On some fresh open entertainment... Radio and your own media outlet .... Jus an ad on ppls weather can attract or appeal to many ...

  • Philani Maxwell Latha

Best place to unwind and distress after a long week of stress. What I've noticed the most is that many people living 8m Durban and surrounding areas don't want to visit areas like Ushaka Marine because they don't really have reasons to, but these place is one of the best destinations of Ethekwini, you won't regret visiting it. It very cheap as well.

  • Pieter Spies

A bit on the tatty side Everything looked below average A big selection of goods in a big selection of shops that all looked like they were lacking customers A very long walk from the main entrance down to the cargo hold restaurant Only discovered at the restaurant that there was closer parking I am 85 and use a cane and this long trip was hell

  • Sandile Ntombela

Great places with a lots of activities to do for a family from adult to child friendly activity. Zip line , scooper dive, shark tank or cage , aquarium, slides , dolphin show and penguins , reptile show restaurants , the beach promonade damn I can keep going there is just too much to do. One day is not enough to cover it all.

  • DIANNE Velayutham

Was a bit disappointed to say the least. There is no control over social distancing. No discipline and nobody comes and check the lines for the ticket booth for the Aquarium. We ended up in an argument with other people in line because they were literally standing on top of us. Not was it used to be...Ushaka..

  • Jason Cugnolio

Nice strip mall with an unusual assortment of shops. Not your average strip mall variety. More targeted for tourist with African style trinkets ect. Be careful of pricing. Lots of food available. Atm's available for most banks. Can find a costume or towel if needed to enjoy the beach or uShaka.

  • JC Harding

Well worth the visit. Aquarium is informative with staff that are truly committed to informing us on the threat we place on our sea life. Big pity is that the entrance fee is so high, this means that those who should be educated about the harm caused are not exposed to this excellent facility.

  • Nonhlanhla Ramoroka

Great for holiday makers, brings together curio shopping that also caters for local shoppers i.e. budget buys. Offers a large variety of restaurant choices,sure to have something for everyone, lots of tourist info on things to do. Access to beach front, can keep kids entertained for the day.

  • Nix Stigr (Nixstigr031)

I've been going to uShaka since it opened, my timeline recorded me traveling to uShaka's village walk 3 times in one day which goes to show how great it is. Great shops, tons of entertainment, fun for the whole family. It's an absolute pleasure spending time here ☺️ …

  • Angelene Kuppusamy

Definitely a great family experience. If you are going to do every single activity, a 2 day visit will do it justice and you get to enjoy the activities. Snorkeling and the sea walk will live in my memories forever. The aquarium is impressive, informative and stunning set up.

  • Maatjie Thompson

Family orientated, fun place to be, lots of entertainment, on beach front! A must go place! Meet awesome people! Lots to see! Lots to do! Or just chill! Toilets needs to be cleaned properly though(some of toilet walls have suspicious 'dirt'(germs) otherwise fun, fun, fun)

  • Neo Gift

Very convenient family‍‍ getaway, and to exhaust yourself and children with the lovely views from the beach‍♀️‍♂️ and adventures activities from 'Wet n wild' Water slides‍♂️‍♀️ (Adults(13+) R190, Children (3-12) R154, Seniors (61+)

  • Chanel Chamier

In the past 10 years I have spent 7 of my birthdays there. More particularly at Ushaka Marine World. It's the BEST place in the world! So much to do. Unlimited fun and super friendly staff! I'll go there over and over and over again.

Still a super dooper spot to wander down and pick up a touristy trinket or lovely African handmade object d'art or leather goods, have a nice brekkie or brunch or lunch, safe parking, safe for the kiddos, lots of retail shopping

  • Craig Williams

It was nice considering the pandemic. Stores kept to their rules about masks but the shoppers were another story. Didn't feel safe because of that. Good side is that it's an open air mall.

  • Morgan Murefu

Surrounded by family entertainment facilities like Ushaka Marine. Nice food around. I was lucky to meet a traditional zulu dance show in the open square, it so amazing. I love this place.

  • heather britz

Renovations being undertaken so it's a bit muddling, but a pleasant walk through. This morning there was entertainment in the form of Zulu dancers accompanied by drums. Really enjoyable.
