    Glass Bottom Boat Experience and AQWA

    A one-of-a-kind aquatic experience awaits you at the Aquarium of Western Australia. For approximately 30 minutes, you will be onboard a custom glass boat and watch sharks, turtles, and stingrays swim beneath you.

    Afterward, you can continue your exploration of Australia's spectacular marine life throughout the aquarium. Discover unique themed exhibits that mimic each of the species' natural environments. Visit Perth Coast to meet an octopus, blue devil, and gobbleguts fish, and get acquainted with a baby crocodile at Far North Coast. Don't miss out on seeing one of the world's largest coral reef exhibits, exploding with vibrant colors and a battalion of fish.

    Behind the Scenes Tour (Age 4+)

    If you choose to opt for the Behind the Scenes tour, an experienced AQWA Ocean Guide will lead you through exciting secret passageways, doors, and restricted areas. Get a close look at a growing coral, get familiar with the intricacies of jellyfish breeding, and watch the food prep (fair warning - it will be a bit smelly).
