Cairns Aquarium After Dark Reveals Tropical Wonders
As evening arrives in North Queensland, the Cairns Aquarium transforms into a mysterious world of discovery with an exclusive after hours experience.

Led by an expert guide, the twilight journey moves through immersive environments representing forests, mangrove habitats, and reef lagoons. Guests can observe how reptiles, amphibians, insects, and marine species change their behaviour after sunset, while the peaceful lighting and quiet surroundings provide a unique perspective on the region’s incredible biodiversity.
The adventure continues inside the Oceanarium, where powerful marine predators take centre stage during their evening routines. Sharks, rays, and groupers glide through the deep waters, offering a captivating display of movement and strength as guests enjoy refreshing appetisers and drinks surrounded by stunning underwater views.
The unforgettable night concludes at Dundee’s Restaurant with a memorable dining experience overlooking the aquarium’s marine exhibits. Combining education, elegance, and the beauty of the reef after dark, this exclusive evening offers travellers a remarkable way to connect with the natural wonders of Cairns.

Customer Reviews
I don’t recommend night aquarium with course dinner. The night aquarium tour was nice however the dinner was poor. Recommend to go somewhere else. You will have dinner in front of the toilet not the beautiful fish tank. The picture in the advertisement is a scam.
5/5, what an absolutely awesome evening. The night tour of the Cairns aquarium is definitely worth it. Our tour guides were Sasha and Cameron and we couldn’t have asked for better guides. They were both packed full of knowledge and were engaging throughout the entire tour. Being able to walk through the aquarium at night and see the exhibits without the usual hustle and bustle was a treat and you feel so much more immersed in the environment. I highly recommend either the Twilight or Night tours for those that want to make the trip just that bit more special.
Was excellent and took a good 2.5 hours to go through. Our favourite was the huge walk thru tank where the sharks swim over our heads. The grandchildren loved where you could touch and feel. The staff were very knowledgeable except maybe lower the volume of the microphones a tad as at the last talk the girl had such a high pitched voice. But lovely all the same. The lizards were an unexpected attraction that was thoroughly enjoyed too.
