The Zebra Shark Experience

Step into the lagoon’s shallow end and enjoy a private 20-minute session feeding and interacting with Irukandji’s captivating zebra sharks. These gentle creatures may swim around your feet or rest in your lap, eager for attention and food. Knowledgeable guides share fascinating facts about each animal, their personalities, and behaviours.
