Night at the Aquarium Tour & 2 Course Dinner
Overview
1 hour 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
As the sun goes down on the Great Barrier Reef, a whole new world awakens. Corals glow, colourful reef fish seek shelter and predators begin their night hunt. At the same time, coastal forests stir with life, as reptiles, amphibians and insects emerge from their burrows to seek out food in the safety of the shadows.
Night at the Aquarium gives you a glimpse into the unique world of the region’s nocturnal creatures and their behaviours as they move about in the darkness. Complete your evening at Squire's Loft Restaurant with a perfectly matched dining experience while you enjoy a stunning sea life backdrop.

5.00This experience way exceeded expectations. Jordan, the Marine Biologist who ran the tour was brilliant - the additional knowledge imparted massively contributed to the experience. Booking through the Aquarium meant that our table for dinner was right next to the aquarium
Amazing combo deal!

5.00Absolutely amazing combo deal! The tour and our tour guide, Makayla or Kayla I think her name was, had an amazing vibe and explained everything really well. This is one of the best aquariums I have visited, so much to see. The dinner at Dundees Restaurant was amazing too, the meals were small but I don’t eat much so that’s okay, but they tasted amazing! We will be back!
A Night at the Aquarium. Where all of the exhibitions are already alive.

5.00Cameron was so knowledgeable he even taught me a few new facts about the marine life on the Great Barrier Reef and I'm a local and thought I knew it all. The dinner was scrumptious and Brendan our waiter made the night a memorable one.
Fabulous aquarium!

5.00A really great look at the entire Queensland ecosystem, from freshwater to the Coral Sea! The guide was knowledgeable and passionate. She conveyed the science in a way that was scientifically accurate but not too weighty and jargon laden. My only disappointment was that there was not more information about nocturnal activities. Food at the restaurant is good quality too.

5.00A personal guided tour of over an hour & a half through the aquarium then a sumptuous two course dinner at Dundee's restaurant - just sensational! I would recommend this tour to everyone.
Overall a great experience

5.00This was a great tour! The tour guide was incredibly passionate about her job as an ecologist which took the tour a whole new level. One suggestion I would like to make - has the Cairns Aquarium considered offering a tour for adults only? We had a very excitable young child on the tour who asked *HEAPS* of questions which was nice to see, but after a while it started to become slightly repetitive and we noticed that the other members of the group started to drift off and do their own thing in an effort to "create space".

5.00The Night at the Aquarium was great. It was a small group tour and Cameron the guide was passionate and knowledgeable. Cameron gave a fun and interesting commentary throughout the tour. We had a combination tour and dinner ticket…..dinner was incredibly delicious and well worth the additional cost for our meal at Dundees.
