Cairns Aquarium by Twilight
Looking to relax during the day, maybe by the hotel pool and then enjoy a leisurely afternoon and evening learning why Cairns and Tropical North Queensland is renowned as the gateway to two of the world’s greatest natural attractions: the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforest.
As the sun sets on North Queensland’s mountain ranges, steam rainforests and shallow reef lagoons begin to stir with life. Nocturnal reptiles, amphibians, insects and fish sense the onset of dusk and emerge from their daytime lairs.
Aquarium by twilight gives you an insight into the unique changes of the region’s night-time creatures as they move about in the shadows. Witness the predators in the Oceanarium with appetiser and drink in hand, before completing your evening at Dundee’s Restaurant with a perfectly matched dining experience while enjoying a stunning marine life backdrop.
