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 marine species found in our southwest 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 icy southern waters to northern tropical wonderlands. As you move through AQWA you'll explore four distinct zones; each showcasing the native marine life found along that section of WA's vibrant coastline.
