Come face to face with over 15,000 animals, see live coral displays, diver shark feeds, marine and reptile touch tanks and enjoy informative, ecologist talks. Discover 70 different habitats showcasing the stunning diversity of the species found in the rainforest and the reef, some of which are rarely seen in the wild. Stand inches from sharks and stingrays, giant endangered sawfish, turtles, pythons and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish in the largest oceanarium in Queensland and the only Deep Reef tank in Australia.

Must stop to see amazing fish, turtles, rays, etc. and rainforest facts!

Must stop to see amazing fish, turtles, rays, marine life, etc. and rainforest facts! The number of live species on display is outstanding! The aquarium is multilevel and starts with River creatures before you get to the coral reef. The marine life represented in the coral reef displays and in an amazing tank (that includes a tunnel that you walk through where fish, rays, etc swim over you!!!) is incredible! Don’t miss it!

Must See!

As much fun as I had snorkeling in the Great Barrier Reef, I didn’t get to experience or see all the beauty of what the Great Barrier Reef had to offer. Visiting the Cairns Aquarium allowed me to see what I missed at an up close encounters.

One of nicest aquariums we have have visited. The 360 tank is one of the best tanks and feels if you are swimming the the sharks and rays

Really well run privately owned aquarium that focuses on the marine life in the Great Barrier Reef and the nearby rainforests. Great talks given that helped us really understand how the rainforest and Great Barrier Reef coexist. Highly recommend visiting this aquarium.
