A wonderful experience - My two children (9 & 11) and I went on the Twilight tour with Lisa as our guide. We cannot recommend it enough! The information we were given about the exhibitions was delivered in an interesting and passionate way while being friendly and accessible for all of us. The tour is structured but you are allowed some flexibility within each area which is great for kids as they can look around while learning & seeing things we never would have if we’d come during the day (however I’d imagine wandering around self guided is also very good).
We loved it and also dinner afterwards was enjoyable too.

We went on the one that included the two course mead at Dundees. The meal was excellent and service spot-on. Prices of alcohol were very high. We stuck to drinking water.

Awesome Aquarium and Restaurant Dining Experience - We did the Twilight Tour on a Saturday evening and were able to buy tickets for 2 adults earlier on the same day. The tour guides are highly knowledgeable and entertaining adding their own personal touch to an amazing tour. The aquarium is awesome and a must see for all visitors and locals in Cairns. We also included the 3 course dinner at Dundee's. The menu choices available and food were divine, top class. I'd recommend the restaurant and as a bonus you get to dine in splendor watching the marine animals in the floor to ceiling aquarium.

A definite must-do when you visit Cairns. - What an amazing experience this was. The level of knowledge of the staff, the information shared on the tour and the exhibits and displays were all first class. We could not fault any of it and were so impressed that we returned 2 days later for a second tour and added the Turtle Hospital on. A definite must-do when you visit Cairns.

Definitely Do the Twilight Event! - We visited the aquarium for the Aquarium By Twilight event - this was a must do when in the area! The aquarium itself is just fabulous, but getting to see it without the crowds and the guided tour was fantastic!! And the dinner included had plenty of options (even for my vegetarian daughter), and was one of the best meals we had on our holiday! The whole event is worth every penny of the ticket! Laura was a fantastic and super friendly guide!

Absolutely fantastic! - Absolutely fantastic. Our guide Mikayla was very knowledgeable and knew her stuff. All area of the tour were brilliant. We were able to get up close to most creatures which was breathtaking in its self. Would thoroughly recommend this tour to people of all ages and abilities as there are lifts and escalators for people to gain access between floors.

A must visit! - The aquarium is amazing! Our guide, Christine, was knowledgeable and friendly. She did a great job wrangling the group and answering questions. I would have preferred a smaller group size, but otherwise it was well worth the time and money.
