Cairns Aquarium and Reef Research Centre Information

The Cairns Aquarium and Reef Research Centre is Cairns newest and most exciting visitor attraction, showcasing the animals, plants and habitats of the only two adjoining World Heritage protected areas – The Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. Protecting and conserving the biodiversity of these World Heritage listed ecosystems through education and awareness is the vision and overriding passion of our Directors and this commitment underpins our business philosophy and environmental practices. That’s why Cairns Aquarium will always be more than a place to see creatures from the ocean and the rainforest. It’s where our friendly and fun loving staff will share their knowledge to provide visitors with a truly memorable experience that deepens their respect for, and their commitment to, the preservation of the amazing wildlife that surrounds them.
