DESCRIPTION
Note: This activity is for visitors aged 6 and above
Scheduled daily at 10am and 2pm, please arrive 30 minutes before to get ready to go in the water.
The wonderful zebra shark snorkel experience is suitable for anyone aged 6 and up and includes snorkelling with our gentle zebra sharks, shovel nose rays and more. Be amazed by the sharks and rays as they glide under and around you and immerse yourself in their fascinating world.
When you first arrive for your session you will need to get changed into the wetsuit provided and we’ll give you a pair of Irukandji souvenir socks to wear and keep, plus a snorkel mask to borrow. You will then be guided for 30 minutes with an experienced fishkeeper around the deep parts of the lagoon. Our incredible animals will swim past you as you glide along the surface, watching them zoom around in their underwater home.
After your snorkel you are free to spend time hanging around in the shallow water interacting with all the animals. We will provide the shark food and a feeding stick so they will come up to you seeking your food and attention. At all times you’ll be guided by a friendly, knowledgable staff member who has lots of information to share with you.
