The guide was great and very knowledgeable. The boat was nice - clean and comfortable. Although we didn't get any close ups of whales we did briefly see a couple.

A truly memorable visit overall, and genuinely educational for all ages! Getting to see animals you might never encounter elsewhere ( some genuinely rare in the wild ) is a real privilege. We loved the jellyfish room with its stunning lighting, spotted a tiny seahorse on the netting, and admired the lionfish’s flowing spines. The shark tunnel was a highlight, watching them glide right above us, and we also saw a wobbegong shark resting on the rocks, king penguins preening each other, and a turtle gliding past. The aquarium looks compact from outside but is surprisingly spacious inside. That said, as animal lovers, a few things left us uneasy. The dugong was kept alone, which is hard to watch given these are social animals that naturally live in groups. We also think the touch pool with starfish and anemones should be discontinued; these are fragile invertebrates that need calm, undisturbed conditions, unlike rays, which tend to enjoy human contact. More broadly, some enclosures felt too small for the size of the animals in them. A worthwhile and educational visit, but one that left us hoping for real improvements in how these animals are cared for.

Sea life was awesome, they had a boat ride that takes you close to and around the penguin enclosure and wonderful underwater tunnels! We loved toranga zoo, I love how open and accessible the enclosures felt especially with the giraffes and gorillas, the Seal show is a must we got in line early to ensure a good spot at the front as seats fill up fast! The only thing I would say is it is probably best not to get the ferry inclusion on your tickets as it's super easy to get a ride from the public ferries and they operate more frequently than the private ferry.
