Feeding and Interacting With the Animals
Outside the lagoon, you’ll receive a feeding stick and special food to tempt the curious sharks and rays. Each pool hosts different marine inhabitants, so you can observe distinct personalities and learn directly from your expert guide about the habits and characteristics of these animals. Watch as rays glide underfoot and small sharks gather eagerly for their snacks.
The Lagoon Encounter
Gear up in a provided wetsuit and socks before entering the main tropical lagoon. This is your chance to step into the water alongside the gentle tawny nurse sharks and friendly rays. Marvel at their calm nature as your guide points out how to safely touch and engage with these rare creatures.
During your 20-minute private encounter, you’ll have plenty of time to feed and pet the nurse sharks. Feel their unique textures and watch them move in their expansive environment. The guide offers fascinating details so you get the most from these memorable moments.
Explore More Marine Life
Back on dry land, rinse off and take a leisurely stroll through the colourful tropical aquarium. Admire brilliant fish and rare species that call this rich Australian habitat home. Capture photos with your waterproof camera (recommended) as your experience draws to a close.
