It's almost time to travel again! We may not be able to leave the state just yet but at least there is so much to do around NSW. There are so many things to see and do here in Port Stephens alone, and we have a bunch of suggestions on our website. Over the next few weeks we will be sharing them in detail with you- but for now, have a look at our local attractions page here https://sharkencounters.com.au/best-activities-in-port-stephens/ #sharkencounters #oceanconservation #sharkawareness #portstephens #tourismaustralia #Irukandji #portstephensattractions #sharkconservation #irukandjisharkandray #protectwhatyoulove #tourismindustry #travel #travelaustralia #travelnsw #destinationnsw

Happy World Tourism Day from all the staff at Irukandji! We're all so lucky to have some of the best jobs in the world, working with amazing animals, educating others about conservation, encouraging change and meeting wonderful people from all over the world! Without tourism Irukandji wouldn't exist. We are so looking forward to having visitors here again and sharing our unique experiences.
We hope that as our world begins to open up again you will go out and support the tourism industry and help us to continue doing what we love!

Today is National Threatened Species Day, a day when we recognise the many species of plants and animals currently under threat of extinction in Australia. We have a number of threatened species here at Irukandji including the ones in the video above.

What can you do to help these marine species thrive in their natural environment?

*Reduce your plastic waste
*Clean up your local beaches
*Eat sustainable seafood
*Support ocean conservation organisations

Protect what you love!

No customers means perfect conditions for updating

No customers means perfect conditions for updating our photos! Kat and Shell had a great day with their underwater cameras getting as many close ups as they could of our beautiful animals, while Bronte got to play with her drone and get some great shots from above.
Not a bad way to spend a sunny day!
