Discover the beauty of a world below the surface. Watch seals, sharks and stingrays glide gracefully through the water. Get up close with turtles, crabs and freshwater crocodiles – and all that without getting wet!
UnderWater World at the Sunshine Coast is an exciting place to explore fascinating marine and freshwater animals.
The gigantic aquarium is divided into eight zones.
"Weird and Wonderful", for example, features the oddest of all creatures that live below the surface, such as stonefish and sea horses.
In
"Touch and Tell", visitors can find out how the skin of a sea star feels and even touch the Brown Banded Bamboo Shark.
More
sharks are yet to be explored: Find out how it feels when they swim right above your head while you walk through the Oceanarium tunnel.
And the really brave ones among us can even
dive with the sharks! The adventure takes about half an hour and you don't even have to be a certified diver to give it a go. Check the
website for prices.
Find out more about other fascinating animals and watch the otter show, the seal show or other animal presentations that take place throughout the day.
To have heaps of time to explore UnderWater World, allow three to four hours for your visit. Opening hours are from 9am to 4.30pm except on Christmas day and the last admission is at 3.30pm.
