OUR ACTIVITIES
Irukandji offers incredible opportunities to encounter a world little is known about. Learn more about the animals that live there and take an in-depth look at the importance of ocean ecosystems. Animal encounters with many species of Sharks, Rays and sea life give you the chance to get up close and personal with these magnificent animals. Differing from the normal behind glass aquarium experience Irukandji is a one of a kind.
Usually Encounters like this can cost an arm and a leg with limited openings, here at Irukandji EVERYBODY gets to experience it.
The journey that each and every person embarks on includes an education on all the species that you meet. You may learn something new about one of your favorite animals, or discover an entirely new creature that you’ve never seen before.
This exciting encounter is included in your entry! Wearing your own clothing and staying (mostly) dry, you can wade in the sandy shallows of the new beach style lagoons, or sit on the rocks, feeding and petting the beautiful animals.
