Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA) Tours and Tickets

Take a 2-hour whale-watching cruise from Hillarys Boat Harbour, just north of Perth, for a chance to get out on the Indian Ocean and look for humpback whales during their yearly migration along the coast of Western Australia. When booking, you have the option to enhance your experience at Hillarys with admission to the Aquarium of Western Australia. Or, select the option that includes round-trip transport from Perth, which provides free time at Hillarys to enjoy family-friendly attractions on your own, such as restaurants, shops, bars, a beach and waterslides.

Enjoy a guaranteed shark encounter as you plunge into the warm waters of the Aquarium of Western Australia (AQWA). Mingle with seven different shark species, plus turtles, stingrays, and a wealth of fish as you snorkel with our qualified divemasters in a group no larger than three. Start with a comprehensive briefing; leave with a certificate.

In the aquarium, see a colorful coral reef and pass through an underwater tunnel where sharks swim overhead.
