Lonely Planet review for Aquarium of Western Australia

For all things fishy, head to the Aquarium of Western Australia. Here you can wander through a 98m underwater tunnel as gargantuan turtles, stingrays, fish and sharks stealthily glide over the top of you. A series of mini marine-worlds show off the state’s underwater treasures: intriguing sea dragons, moon jellies (which billow, iridescent, through a giant cylinder), venomous fish and sea snakes. Seals play in the underwater-viewing area. The daring can even snorkel or dive with the sharks in the giant aquarium with the in-house divemaster. Book in advance (snorkel/dive including gear $145/165; 1pm and 3pm).

    AQWA is a great place to visit if you have an extra day in Perth. With exiting and informational aquariums sectioned into the different regions of Australia in addition to a touch pool where you can touch sting rays and a walk through tunnel shark aquarium AQWA is certainly worth a visit! Only drawback is the long lines to get in during weekends!
