As the sun sets on the Great Barrier Reef, a hidden world awakens. Corals glow, reef fish retreat into shelter, and nocturnal hunters begin their evening patrol. In the rainforest, reptiles, amphibians, and insects emerge into the shadows. The Night at the Aquarium guided experience offers a rare glimpse into these fascinating transformations after dark.

Guided Twilight Tour 🌌

Your evening begins with exclusive entry to Cairns Aquarium after closing time. From 6:00 pm, journey through 10 tropical ecosystems, from mountain streams and coastal forests to the Great Barrier Reef and Coral Sea. Along the way, you’ll encounter the unique behaviours of the region’s nocturnal species as they come alive in the darkness.

Highlights include coming face-to-face with the Coral Sea’s largest nighttime predators — sharks, rays, and groupers.
