About Aquatica KK

Aquatica KK is currently developing an aquarium and ocean science discovery centre to be located at Sukarelawan Complex, Likas, Sabah. The project is the brainchild of concerned conservationists who aim to promote environmental awareness by exhibiting the ecosystems of Borneo and highlighting both the threats they face and the desperate need to conserve them. Aquatica will function as both a tourist attraction and educational facility featuring large scale aquatic displays and interactive exhibits aimed at all age groups.
