So much more than I expected!

Such a great experience! So much more than just an aquarium. The turtle rehabilitation was really interesting and the information about the ecosystem in the tropics was also a bonus! Very worthwhile to do - highly recommend.

Amazing experience

Published on Jul, 2023

The marine life encounter tour was the highlight of our week in Cairns, Sharlee and Jenny we're so passionate about the sea life and provided an amazing tour, which included hand feeding stingrays and turtles. We would highly recommend including a tour such as this with your aquarium visit.

Recommend a visit to the rehabilitation turtle Centre

Published on Jul, 2023

Attending the turtle rehabilitation Centre. This was an an amazing experience to learn more about the turtles found around Cairns and the surrounding islands. We listened to the work being done to sick and injured turtles to get them well enough to return to the wild again and was very heart warming. The staff are volunteers and are knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
