Marine Life Encounter at Cairns Aquarium
About this experience
Get the most from your day at Cairns Aquarium with a marine life encounter!
Your guide will take you behind the scenes, so you can see how the aquarium cares for its marine creatures. Hand-feed the cownose sting rays their favourite food on a specially designed feeding platform. At the _River Monsters_ exhibit, scatter-feed the giant freshwater rays and barramundi, followed by a visit to the Cairns Turtle Hospital to meet the sea turtles that Cairns Aquarium cares for. You'll also learn about the aquarium's rescue, rehabilitation and conservation efforts and how you can help.
After your day of discovery, relax and unwind with a gourmet lunch at the aquatic-themed restaurant.
