Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters is an incredible interactive

aquarium. This experience is not just viewing the animals - visitors get
up close and personal! Pet them, feed them and now ALL VISITORS have
the Shallows Encounter, wading into the shallows of the lagoons,
included in their entry ticket.

At Irukandji 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 water with them
brings a whole new level of excitement and fear and 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.

Wear & Keep souvenir socks are an optional $5 to wear into our lagoon.
Visitors are now welcome to wade in the lagoons with bare feet if
preferred. The animals may be curious about toes, so purchasing socks is
recommended for anybody feeling nervous. Wearing socks in the water is
safe for the animals and creates a camouflage for visitor's pink toes
that can look similar to squid. 

Swimwear is not needed or permitted on its own, please wear clothes at all
times. We recommend shorts or skirts (or pants you can roll up) for this
activity. Children under 12 must be accompanied by an adult at all
times.  If you wish to get totally wet, please add wetsuit hire on the
next screen or ensure clothing you wear into the water has been
pre-washed with no soap or chemicals. 

Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters is an interactive aquarium where you will
get the chance to feed and pet a variety of species of sharks and rays.
 Your entry pass includes walking around the aquarium and
feeding/petting from the edges of the lagoon, wading into the shallows
of the lagoon, food for our sharks and rays and educational talks by our
knowledgeable fish keepers. 

Extra exclusive activities such as snorkelling and private larger shark encounter sessions can also be purchased.
