  • Overview

    Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters is an incredible interactive aquarium like no other. Visitors can enjoy our sandy beaches surrounded by many curious, friendly sharks & rays whilst staying (mostly) dry - only getting feet/legs wet. Physically stepping into the shallows of the lagoons with them or opting for the very Aussie wetsuit brings a whole new level of excitement and fear, the animals display their endearing personalities & steal the hearts of visitors they meet. Visitors quickly develop a passion and stewardship, making for a life-long love and understanding of these misunderstood species and the ocean ecosystem.

    Today we completed the shark experience, a really wonderful experience. Staff are friendly and very knowledgeable regarding all the sharks and stingrays. We definitely learnt some new facts about these animals. I would have marked them as 5 star's however dur to the curtains on the change cubicles no covering the gap. The rods were extremely high and the fabric was hard to slide across. Other then that I would recommend this for anyone visiting the area to look at doing.

    Knowledgeable and friendly staff, very helpful, amazing experience- can pay entrance fee and go ankledeep to feed or addwetsuitand sit down in the water (best for kids) or book an experience where you get to go into the deep part and go under the water with the animals. I did all the above and it was worth the money. Can easily spend half a day there. Climbing frame for children too. Will definitely be going back!

    I came here for the first time ever as I’ve always like sharks and my mum like rays I live in Sydney and love the aquarium there and always wanted to swim in with the sharks but so expensive and saw they had shark and rays that have been rescued and to get in with them and leave so much I hadn’t even know. Was still the best top thing I’ve done here. Thank you guy you’s are amazing ! Keep doing what you’re doing ? (I’m also get a tattoo on Saturday here before I leave to commemorate this joy )

    cool place and definitely worth it for the experience. My son and daughter who aren't overly risk takers were patting the sharks and rays with the guidance of the lovely staff which says it all.

    We had a fantastic day of learning and interacting with the sting rays, sharks and rays. They were all so beautiful and gentle. All the staff were wonderful and had so much knowledge and statistics to share. We had a chat with the owner on the way out and she shared even more information with us about a sustainable seafood app. Highly recommend visiting

    • Learning about the animals on a guided tour available for large groups otherwise be sure to stop in and chat to the guides as not only do they have the food for the animals they love talking about them and the important ocean systems.
    • Upgrade to Wetsuit.
    • This is the cheapest way to completely immerse yourself with the animals wading up to your neck in both lagoons or relaxing seated on the sandy beach with them swimming around and on your lap.
    • This incredible experience includes entry into the deeper wading section of the lagoons and the hire of the wetsuit for that Aussie surfer experience. Wetsuits range from baby sizes to Mens 7XL and are included FOC for infants. Irukandji's in house wetsuits must be worn and they are your visual ticket into deeper lagoon, wetsuits are included FOC in all snorkels and encounters so please do not purchase them twice.

      Upgrade to an Encounter ($) Some of our hands down favourite experiences can be found in the private encounters, with only a couple of sessions a day and a maximum of 6pax they are very much sought after. See  each encounter for further info
      Hot showers and taking shark selfies.
    • Annual Passes ($) available that pay for themselves after the 2nd visit and include wetsuits every time, as many times as you like for a year. They also include discounts on some of the other activities once purchased. 

    What to bring: Hats, REEF-FRIENDLY sunscreen, cameras (underwater cameras are great!), clothes (t-shirts & shorts or skirts that can stay dry in the shallows, Only bring swimwear or spare underwear for those choosing the wetsuit option and for all encounters and snorkels. Your own prescription mask set- note though we do allow it you will need to allow extra time before your experience for us to clean/soak your snorkel in solution to ensure it is free from any nasties. 

    What NOT to bring: Swimwear or rashie/clothes to swim in without a wetsuit (staying dry clothing or wetsuit must be worn in lagoons, not swimwear alone), non-reef friendly sunscreen, your own wetsuits or water shoes- because they could introduce toxins to our lagoons and we limit the items going in, especially neoprene which can harbour marine life from the ocean and cannot be cleaned in a hurry.
