Quick Info

Glass Bottomed Boat!

Sense the fear of a ship-wreck survivor on our Glass Bottomed Boat!

Step onto Sydney Aquarium's 'Shark Explorer' glass-bottom boat for an experience you'll never forget. Going behind the scenes you'll float on-top of Australia's largest Great Barrier Reef oceanarium and see an exciting array of reef sharks.

During the trip our sharks may get very close to the boat and perform surface fining, where their dorsal fin protrudes from the water. It's an adrenaline-pumping moment when you see that iconic fin break the water's surface, but you can relax in perfect safety.

Your experienced Shark Explorer guide will point out Lemon Sharks, Black Tip Reef Sharks, Grey Reef Sharks and Leopard Sharks as you float over our stunning oceanarium.

And now you can feed the sharks too!

At 11am daily, the Glass Bottomed Boat trip also includes the opportunity to feed the sharks! The shark feed trip is only available at 11.00am daily for groups of up to 8 people.

How to book

Enquire at the front desk at Sydney Aquarium on arrival. With the exception of the daily 11am shark feed trips, all Glass Bottom Boat trips are run to demand.

A couple of things to note:

• You'll need to wear enclosed comfortable shoes.
• The cost of these additional Sydney Animal Adventures do NOT include entry to Sydney Aquarium. The cost covers the glass bottom boat ride and educational talk only. The 11am trip fee also covers the shark feed (see pricing information below).
