Cairns Aquarium by Twilight with Dinner

About this experience

Cairns Aquarium by Twilight with Dinner This ticket admits you to an exclusive twilight visit at Cairns Aquarium, guided by a passionate wildlife educator who leads small groups through 12 interconnected ecosystems after dark.

From lush rainforest-edge habitat galleries to the deep Coral Sea exhibits, the guided tour offers a genuinely different perspective on the creatures the aquarium houses. The evening concludes with a three-course dinner in the aquarium's restaurant, where panoramic tank views surround your table throughout the meal. Fresh local ingredients feature in every dish, and the glow of the aquatic displays creates a memorable atmosphere. Limited group sizes keep the experience intimate, making this ticket well suited to couples, families, and anyone seeking an after-hours encounter with Cairns' marine world.
