About

Come on a journey of amazing discovery through SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium’s unique marine aquatic environments and discover an incredible 4,000+ animals from over 300 different species – the world’s largest variety of Australian aquatic life! Hop aboard our Penguin Expedition Boat Ride is the world’s first-of-its-kind penguin exhibit raft ride where you can get up close and personal to a spectacular colony of King and Gentoo Penguins. Inspired by Macquarie Island, this unique voyage takes you face-to-flipper in an awe-inspiring recreation of our King and Gentoo penguins’ home, including magical flurries of snow, whistling winds and stunning southern lights. Watch from just metres away as they interact, slide across the ice and dive into the water! Guests travel in a raft through a rugged sub-Antarctic environment, through flurries of snow, at a cool but comfortable six degrees Celsius. Explore beautifully themed habitats, including Dugong Island, where the aquarium’s cheekiest character, Pig the Dugong, lives, Discovery Kids Rockpool, Sydney Harbour and Shark Valley, home to awesome three-metre sharks and huge smooth rays. SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is also home to several unique VIP experiences, allowing the more adventurous explorers to go beyond the surface. From our eye-opening Behind the Scenes Tour and awe-inspiring Penguin Encounter to our jaw-dropping Shark Dive Xtreme experience – there's something for everyone!
