The AQWA Journey
Explore over 12,000km of coastline in just one day at AQWA
Western Australia's expansive coastline is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. Up to 70% of the incredible marine species found here are endemic; meaning you won't find them anywhere else in the world.
AQWA celebrates this uniqueness and takes you on an underwater journey, from the icy southern waters to a northern tropical wonderland. As you move through AQWA you'll explore four distinct zones; each showcasing the native marine life found along that section of WA's diverse and vibrant coastline.
