Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters in Port Stephens, NSW, offers unique aquarium and zoo experiences in Australia. This interactive aquarium is home to friendly sharks and rays, providing visitors with up-close encounters and educational talks by knowledgeable fish keepers. The aquarium and zoo tickets provide access to various activities, including touching, feeding, and meeting the animals, paddling in the shallow lagoon, and watching shark selfies.

The Little Ray Cuddle Package is an intimate encounter with stingrays, allowing visitors to interact with these affectionate animals in a small private group. Visitors will have the opportunity to pat and feed the rays while learning about their behaviors and personalities. This experience is suitable for all ages, and children under 12 must be accompanied by a paying adult.

Visitors can upgrade their experience by purchasing wear and keep souvenir socks, which create a camouflage for the animals and are a great souvenir to keep. Alternatively, visitors can upgrade to a wetsuit, allowing them to immerse themselves in the lagoon and get up close and personal with the animals.

Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters also offers annual passes, which pay for themselves after the second visit and include wetsuit hire every time. These passes also offer discounts on other activities.

When visiting Irukandji Shark & Ray Encounters, visitors are encouraged to bring hats, reef-friendly sunscreen, cameras, and clothes that can stay dry in the shallow lagoon. It is recommended to book in advance, especially during weekends and school holidays, as sessions run all day from 9 am to 5 pm, and last arrivals are at 3.40 pm.
