UnderWater World Sea Life aquarium – one of the leading visitor attractions on Queensland’s idyllic Sunshine Coast! Now with four incredible new zones.
Exhibits
Sharks Alive
A moving walkway in a 80-metre (260 ft) shark tunnel under the 2,500,000-litre (660,000 US gal) oceanarium takes visitors past several viewing windows, with fish swimming all around the walkway. The exhibit includes three separate habitats: coral reef, cave and open ocean. Its residents include rays, moray eels, grey nurse sharks, sandbar whalers, whitetip reef sharks, and zebra sharks.
