The reef setting with the crayfish & starfish was beautiful, not to mention the large stingrays that swam around made it look magical.

The Cairns Aquarium was beautifully maintained, and it was such a wonderful experience to relax in a comfortable lounge chair while watching the fish gracefully swim by. The tranquil atmosphere and the gentle movement of the sea creatures made it easy to lose track of time. It truly felt like a peaceful escape into an underwater world.
