Guided Tours

Treasures of the Sea offers tours for adults and school children that will amaze and entertain.

A guide will take your group through the exhibit where you will see a video on treasure hunter Mel Fisher's decades long journey to find the Atocha, touch real 17th century cannons and cannon balls, run your fingers over a silver ingot, trace the path to the New World on a map, and gaze on priceless artifacts including gold and emeralds. Plan your group trip now and get ready for an adventure back in time and deep under the sea!
