When to visit Irukandji

Open from 9am-5pm. Arrive before 3pm to get the full experience, including the last Big Shark Talk of the day, or arrive by 3.40pm for the last session. All Encounters and Snorkels have set times so please arrive on or before your booked time for those experiences. Entry & Discovery Passes are more flexible and it shouldn't matter too much if you are running late or decide to visit early.

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.
