Description

Go behind the scenes at one of Australia's largest aquariums!

With a small group of 10 people, you will enjoy a guided tour of the magnificent SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium. There, you will have the chance to see more than 12000 animals and 650 species such as dugongs, sharks, duck-billed platypuses, rays, turtles, penguins and tropical fish. Thanks to your professional guide you will learn all about the different marine species present in the aquarium as well as about their ecosystems (in English)!

Your tour will continue behind the scenes at the aquarium. You will access the private areas where lots of professional work to ensure the aquarium runs smoothly and that the animals living there are safe and well. Among the different zones, you will explore the breeding area, the Great Barrier Reef zone and the feeding area where you will have the chance to feed dugongs yourself!

If you want to enjoy an even more in-depth experience, book the VIP option! The whole tour will be with just 5 people. You will also have the chance to go into the GBR Oceanarium tank on a glass-bottom boat to get really close to the different marine species, and even feed them!

At the end of your guided tour you may explore the aquarium at your own pace.
