Visiting AQWA
A must for all age groups – from kiddies through to grandparents – a visit to AQWA takes you on an underwater journey to discover the iconic and incredible marine life of WA.
Situated at Hillary’s Boat Harbour, AQWA boasts one of the world’s largest living coral reef exhibits, where visitors will be amazed by the vibrant life of a coral reef, bursting with colourful creatures and intriguing coral formations.
AQWA is home to sharks, stingrays and giant sea turtles so the whole family will be enthralled as they come face-to-fin with all manner of majestic sea creatures. To make the journey even more exciting they can jump on a 98 metre long moving walkway (the largest in Australia) that transports them through the underwater tunnel.
