Introduction

There are two highly popular stars in this place: penguins and sharks. Besides admiring these creatures through a coral tank and glass tunnel, you can also interact with them up close through glass and emperor penguins, or watch them move quickly underwater. If you want to experience it firsthand, divers will jump into the giant fish tank to feed the sharks, or you can sign up to participate in a Shark Dive activity with them (price 279 AUD). Additionally, if you have no diving experience, the Shark Walker (price 199 AUD) allows you to stroll underwater and get up close and personal with these creatures.
