Cairns Aquarium

Our tour guide was Mykelah. She was outstanding. So personal le, knowledgeable and full of energy. She told us some facts and fun stories related to what we were seeing. Having a private, small group tour was great and we got up close to the fish. Definitely a must do and ask for Mykelah.

We absolutely loved our evening at the aquarium! Our tour guide was amazing and very informative and energetic! Our 10 year old was kept entertained the whole time. The meal was delicious as well and sitting right next the the giant fish tank made for an unique experience we won’t soon forget!

I love the environment very much thank you for protect the world we will have a good plan to come with family at next year

Great display and Commentary lots lots of interesting information especially the barrier reefs recovery during Covid-19

This was a great morning! The aquarium was amazing! The lovely lady at the “ star fish tuching area” was beyond my expectations. She explained things to my 3 year old brought out 3 day old baby sea horses to show her. The turtle rehab center with Layla! You just go! So amazing!

I'm from another country and always like to visit local zoos and aquariums on vacation. Laura was very knowledgeable and I learned a lot about the local aquatic life.

outside of island tours, this is best thing to do in cairns. this is the best aquarium in australia.

Such an enjoyable place to be with the family. We planned our new marine tank in the time we spent here and just sat in awe of all the setups

Your was amazing however if you are a solo traveller it is very easy to get bored. So recommended bringing people with you. The range of animals at the aquarium was great and to hear about the ecosystems was very knowledgeable. The three course dinner at Dundee’s on the other hand needs to fix their portion sizes. I had the warm beef salad for entree and it was way too big. Entree is meant to be lite to compliment the main however the entree took over. Main was good ( Black Angus sirloin) however the size again was an issue. Remember there are 3 courses and everyone needs room for dessert. Mushroom topping with spinach and herbs was unappealing and tasted horrible. Could just be my opinion. Dessert was amazing (Chocolate and Kahalu tart) however a customer should be able to use their dessert spoon to collect the tart case with filling. I was unable to break the tart with the spoon so had to eat filling alone. Recommend making the casing softer. Wine selection was great. Wait staff should not be standing behind customers gossiping. Their role is to serve the customer not stand around looking pretty. When serving a customer water ask if they’d like more water rather than just pouring it, this makes customers feel obligated to have more which is not how customers should feel. However with these adjustments this restaurant would be excellent.

Great value for the price and if you have a few hours available. Note that once you get your ticket confined through viator, you will still need to go to customer service ticketing desk to pick-up aquarium issued tickets to enter turnstile for the aquarium.

It was ok the only thing I didn't like was there food if your into that fancy kind of food it's for you. I went to mcdonalds afterwards because I was hungry

Great place to see all the fish, sharks, rays and other species that are in the sea and reefs around Cairns
