PREPARATION:

What to bring: 

  • Hats, Towels & REEF-FRIENDLY sunscreen
  • Cameras (underwater cameras are welcomed)
  • Short clothes (t-shirts & shorts/skirts that can stay dry in the shallows) 
  • Or bring swimwear or spare underwear only for those choosing an ENCOUNTER or SNORKEL to wear under the wetsuit provided. 
  • Your own prescription mask/snorkel set- NOTE: Allow extra time before your experience for us to clean/soak your snorkel in solution to ensure it is free from any nasties. Please reach out to the administration team prior to your visit to organise. 
  • Picnic - As we do-not have a fully fledged cafe (yet until we build it) We have snacks and treats available and welcome any outside picnics or catering to be brought on site.

What NOT to bring: 

  • Swimwear or rashie/clothes to swim in WITHOUT also purchasing and encounter or snorkel. You cannot enter the lagoons in your own swimwear. Fully clothed dry clothing or Irukandji wetsuits must be worn in the lagoons, swimwear alone is not permitted.
  • Non-reef friendly sunscreen. Check the bottle for the reef safe logo, or check with our staff when you enter.
  • Your own personal wetsuits or water/reef shoes as these could introduce toxins to our lagoons and we limit the items going in, especially neoprene which can harbour microscopic marine-life from the ocean. Decontamination & quarantine of these items is a lengthy overnight process we hope to avoid.

When to visit Irukandji 

Our aquarium is very popular and in busy times of year can book our for an entire day as we limit our availability for the animals serenity.  Forward bookings are definitely needed on public and school holidays so you don't miss out. Open from 9am-5pm. Arrive before 3pm to get the full experience, including the last talk of the day, or arrive by 3.40pm for the last entry session. All Encounters and Snorkels have set times so please arrive on or before your booked time for those experiences. Entry & Discovery Encounters are more flexible and it shouldn't matter too much if you are running late or decide to visit early.

Also available at the facility are hot showers, snacks and cold drinks as well as a fully stocked gift shop for you to enjoy before or after your encounter. Picnic tables and grassy areas are provided so feel free to bring lunch, stay as long as you want and relax in between your encounters with the animals.
