As the sun sets over the mountains of tropical North Queensland, the lush rainforests and shallow reef lagoons come alive. Reptiles, amphibians, insects, and nocturnal fish sense the approach of dusk and emerge from their daytime hideaways. While nocturnal predators like sharks, rays, and groupers awaken, brightly colored reef fish seek shelter in coral crevices.

"Twilight Aquarium" offers an exclusive guided tour, allowing you to witness this remarkable transition as day fades into sunset.

Inclusions:

• Exclusive after-hours entry to Cairns Aquarium
• A two-hour guided twilight journey through 11 tropical ecosystems, from the mountains to the Great Barrier Reef and the Coral Sea
• Learn how the behavior of Wet Tropics animals adapts from day to night
• Come face-to-face with the Coral Sea’s largest nocturnal predators—sharks, rays, groupers, and more!
• If an infant requires a meal, a child ticket must be booked
