A trip to the Two Oceans Aquarium is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, whether you’re a South African visiting from out of town, a local rediscovering the marvels on your doorstep, or a tourist wanting to experience the best of Cape Town.

If you want an easy-to-store souvenir to commemorate your visit to the Aquarium, then have your picture taken by one of the Happy Snappy photographers near the entrance. You can’t miss them waiting for you in front of the bright green screen! Then, go ahead and soak up all the Aquarium has to offer.

While you enjoy your visit, the team will superimpose your photos onto an awesome marine-themed background. Your photo will be presented in a fun photo booklet full of ocean facts, and the team will keep it for you at their station near the Save Our Seas Foundation Shark Exhibit, where you can choose to purchase it.

How do I download my photos?

If you'd like to download your photos (perhaps to share on social media), head over to this link.

The link will lead you to the Happy Snappy portal, where you can enter your unique photo code (which is printed on your photo booklet), and your images will be generated. From there, you can download your picture and own a digital copy that you can store and easily share with loved ones.

Regret not buying your photos when you had the chance?

If you decided not to purchase the booklet but are now having second thoughts, the team keeps pictures for one month from your date of visit. Simply email twooceansaquarium@happysnappy.co.za and add some details - when you visited, what time of day it was, how many people were in your group, what you were wearing - and the team will assist you in finding your photo. You can then either pop into the Aquarium and buy it on-site or have it posted to you for an additional R30.
