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.
Specifics
Available for adults & children 12yrs+ adventure includes snorkelling in the Tropical Lagoon with Irukandjiβs large 3 metre tawny nurse sharks + our new cheeky whitetip reef sharks! A truly immersive experience allowing full private access to the lagoon deep. All snorkelers must be able to swim, an exhilarating yet safe opportunity for those βI swam with sharks in Australia!β memories and photos.
Irukandji Activities & Levels of Entry
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.
Your voucher(s) and booking information will be included in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after purchasing the experience on Amazed.com.
If the booking needs to be first confirmed by the host, you will receive your Amazed voucher within 24-48 hours of purchase.

2 months agoToday 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.

3 months agoKnowledgeable 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!

a month agoI 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 )

a month agocool 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.

2 months agoWe 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
