of the aquarium after closing

Enter Cairns Aquarium after closing time, exclusively for tour guests. A knowledgeable wildlife educator guides you through 10 tropical ecosystems, from rivers to reefs, rainforests, mangroves and the Coral Sea, for about 1 hour 30 minutes.

Meet glowing coral and nocturnal rainforest animals

As the sun sets, coral glows and colorful reef fish look for shelter. Explore the nocturnal coral exhibit and observe the behavior of rare nocturnal rainforest animals such as reptiles, amphibians and insects as they emerge to forage in the dark.

See the Coral Sea's nocturnal predators up close

Come face to face with the Coral Sea's largest nocturnal predators, including sharks, rays and groupers, as they begin their night hunt. Listen to the educator's explanations as you watch nocturnal animals move in the dark.
