An unbeatable experience for little ones with big curiosities, Cairns Aquarium is a place to explore the sea floor without venturing into it. The aquarium is an inspiration for kids to respect, protect and conserve the Great Barrier Reef. The facility is dedicated to the conservation of the Tropics and its ecosystems - some of the most biodiverse on earth. Visitors can experience a tactile interaction with some of the rarest and most protected species on earth. A mesmerising experience for all ages - even the grown-ups.
A callout to all budding biologists! If you have a water-loving teen on your hands, the Sunlover Reef Cruises ‘Marine Biologist for a Day’ program is an incredible experience for youth. Environmentalists come in all ages and sizes - this day trip caters to the school-aged enthusiasts who are keen to learn more about reef ecology, climate change, marine life identification and underwater predators. Many of the experiences can cater to kids with low swimming confidence (using supports or floatation devices), making it an accessible experience to a broader range of kids.
Grab the family and join Juan Walker on Walkabout Cultural Adventures Ngana Julaymba Dungay tour. The full day tour will traverse Mossman Gorge and the southern Daintree rainforest. You’ll learn about different foods and medicines foraged from nature, sample some bush tucker, collect shellfish and try traditional Aboriginal hunting practices. You can even have a go a boomerang and spear throwing – and if you’re really lucky, you might even catch a mud crab.
Discovery is the cross section between education and delight - both of which are covered at Rainforestation Nature Park in Kuranda. So many experiences are rolled into one day here, where you can take an Army Duck tour through the rainforest, go behind the scenes with a wildlife keeper in the Koala Park, and get deep spiritual insight into one of the world's oldest surviving culture with the Pamagirri Aboriginal Experience. Discover Dreamtime stories, learn culture and customs, before sitting down for traditional dance performances.
