Lonely Planet review

This excellent aquarium displays living coral ecosystems and an array of exotic creatures associated with coral, such as sea horses, clown fish and butterfly fish as well as nasties like the stonefish and box jellyfish. Originally established as a research facility into the region's marine environment, Indo-Pacific Marine has stayed true to its educational roots and promotes environmental awareness through its exhibits. Each display is self-supporting, requiring no introduced filtration or food. Flesh-eating fish are fed, however, to prevent them from eating the other exhibits.

Visitors watch an introductory film before taking a tour of the tanks; allow at least an hour. Readers recommend the Coral Reef by Night show, which includes a seafood dinner; book ahead.
