Why We Love This Unique Experience

Embark on the ultimate marine life encounter at Cairns Aquarium! Begin your adventure at the Aquarium itself, where you will meet your passionate ecologist guide for an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour through nine diverse Tropical North Queensland habitats. From freshwater rivers to the Great Barrier Reef, you will get an up-close look at how the Aquarium cares for its marine life, including a visit to the animal food preparation room and quarantine section.


The highlight of this experience is the hand-feeding session with the gentle Cownose Rays, set against the backdrop of the Coral Sea.

You'll also have the chance to scatter feed the giant Freshwater Rays and Barramundi, visit the Cairns Turtle Hospital, and indulge in a delicious two-course lunch at Dundee's Restaurant - all included in this unforgettable three-hour experience.
