1. Where do we get more sightings?

There’s no definite answer to this, as marine life sightings depend largely on the tide pools and tidal conditions on that particular day. All the locations have shown similar diversity and frequency of marine creature sightings over time.

2. What’s the difference between the locations for the Marine Walk?

The main difference lies in the terrain. Bandstand, Haji Ali and PDP have a completely rocky surface, which can get a bit slippery in certain areas, while Juhu offers a walk along the sandy shore, making it comparatively easier to navigate. Children below the age of 7 years won't be allowed to join the walks at Haji Ali and PDP. Senior citizens and older folk are welcome to join; however, walking here could be challenging.

All locations offer a wonderful glimpse into Mumbai’s intertidal marine life, each with its own unique charm and experience.

3. Is there any age limit?

At Bandstand, Haji Ali and Malabar Hill, the minimum age is 7 years due to the rocky terrain, which can also be challenging for senior citizens.

For a more accessible experience, Juhu is preferable — it has no age limit, and tickets are applicable for children 3 years and above.

4. What kind of marine life will we get a chance to spot?

From sea sponges, jellyfish, barnacles, sea anemones, snails, and hermit crabs to the elusive starfish, moray eels and octopus, your naturalist will take you on a 2-hour walk and help you spot these magnificent creatures that thrive on our beaches.
