Jeg havde en vidunderlig tid på Cairns Aquarium! Stedet er smukt og fuld af fantastisk havliv. Personalet var utroligt venligt og hjælpsomt - deres gode attitude gjorde besøget endnu bedre. Jeg var især vild med skildpaddehospitalet! Man kan virkelig se, hvor meget de elsker deres arbejde, og hvor meget de holder af dyrene. Det er så dejligt at se folk hjælpe og beskytte livet i havet. Tak for sådan en fantastisk oplevelse!

Vi bookede dagen før ved en fejl, men den unge dame i receptionen var enestående i sin håndtering af vores fejl. Hun lukkede os ind og hjalp os så meget. Fantastisk. Også standarden af oplevelsen var supurb. Manden ved berøringstanken var ekstremt vidende og hjælpsom.

    River Systems

    Take a trip down the far rivers of Northern Queensland, observing the unusual shapes, sizes, colors, and other features of many of its inhabitants. The wide range of species that thrive in these regions includes catfish, gudgeon, perch, and even the one-of-a-kind freshwater stonefish.

    Creeks & Streams

    Freshwater plants and animals form their unique ecosystems that live in unison with other marine life. The luscious green plants and colorful freshwater fish are bound to catch your eye, providing some unique, breathtaking sights. Here you can get a glimpse of giant prawns and brightly colored crayfish.

    Waterways & Billabongs

    Australia is well known for its rarest and most unique species, particularly in Cape York and Gulf Savannah regions. You can spot some bizarre yet magnificent creatures like the Freshwater Sawfish with its long sharp teeth on its long bony snout! Watch out for barramundi, mangrove jacks, sooty grunters, and the largest species of freshwater whip rays that you’ve ever seen!

    Tropical Rainforest

    Many animal species venture out into the wild only at night, which is why they are often hard to spot. The special displays at Cairns Aquarium will let you get a first-hand look at some of these spectacular nocturnal creatures, including unique species of snakes, lizards, and frogs.

    Forest Floor

    If you’re a nature buff, you’ll know that forest floors form their unique habitat with a wide array of unique species that thrive in these environments. In the forests of Tropical North Queensland, you can find the richest and most diverse collection of insects, spiders, and plant systems. Catch a glimpse at some of the largest forest giants that you’ve ever seen!

    Life in the Mangrove

    Plant systems play a vital role when it comes to marine life. Mangroves in particular filter out sediment from mountain water, providing a rich habitat for unique species to survive such as the fighting crab, crocodiles, reef stars, and other reef fish. The trees themselves have evolved over time to adapt to salt and freshwater, the concentrations of which keep changing.

    Great Barrier Reef & Dangers of the Reef

    The world-famous Great Barrier Reef is the largest collection of coral systems and islands spread across 344,400 square kilometers. You can even see it from space! Get an insight into the unusual shapes, colors, and behaviors of many species that live here, including a few dangerous ones that are potentially fatal to human life!

    The Coral Sea

    Australia is famous for its numerous colorful reefs spread across its oceans. Now you can take a look at these coral reefs right at the Cairns Aquarium at the main Oceanarium. In this area, you will find the highest number of fish in comparison to other reef zones including Reef Sharks, Stingrays, Leopard Sharks, and Coral Trout.

    Ribbon Reefs

    The Reef face at Cairns Aquarium is a 10-meter high, 200,000 liter tank containing rich complex growths of coral and algae. These usually serve as food for other marine animals, attracting them to the surface. The Ribbon Reef is visible from both levels of the aquarium, where you can watch how these creatures move around between shallow and deep surfaces of the ocean.

    Under the pier

    Some animals have grown to adapt to certain man-made structures like jetties and piers. They can make these structures their homes over a certain period. At the Aqualuna Restaurant, you get a close look at Baby Blacktip reef sharks, wrasse, stingrays, and angelfish swimming around a 70,000 liter shark exhibit.
