Townsville’s Reef HQ Aquarium is the world’s largest living coral reef aquarium. This is your chance to visit the reef without getting wet and an ideal opportunity to learn about the amazing marine life of the Great Barrier Reef before you experience it on a day trip. Experience the majesty of sharks cruising the reef and visit the Turtle Hospital, a dedicated facility to care for sick and injured marine turtles.

While you are there, don’t miss the award-winning Museum of Tropical Queensland next door.
