About Reef HQ Aquarium
Reef HQ is the world`s largest living coral reef aquarium and national reef education centre for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It is the only coral reef aquarium on the Queensland coast for visitors to experience the reef from a fish-eye-view.
Both a tourist attraction and an educational facility, Reef HQ boasts a range of displays and exhibits designed to stimulate visitors` curiosity so they learn about the Great Barrier Reef and leave eager to know more.
The huge aquarium acts as a window to the reef. This window reveals thousands of incredible fish and reef creatures. Even on a dive trip a visitor would rarely see so many creatures in such detail. The 20 metre long acrylic walk-through tunnel allows excellent viewing into the 750,000 litre predator exhibit. The wreck of the S.S. Yongala provides an eerie backdrop and is home to shark species such as the blacktip reef sharks; leopard and nurse sharks living together with stingrays, giant trevally and a green turtle. Watching them feed is quite a spectacle.
