Sydney Harbour is home to an extraordinary range of marine life including sharks, rays, seadragons, crabs, octopii, seahorses and hundreds more. Imagine being able to explore the depths of Sydney Harbour without getting wet! This discovery cruise aims to uncover the world of Sydney Harbour's marine life in their natural habitat.

If you're looking for something different for your corporate event, this unique cruise is for your company. This half day cruise offers a unique way to explore the harbour. While you stay warm and dry on the boat, scuba divers below relay live commentary and video footage back to a screen on the boat. It's also interactive, so you can ask questions and direct the camera to reveal the harbour's hidden secrets.

Dr Kathy Townsend, a Queensland based marine scientist, has found that up to 40% of turtles in the Moreton Bay area have died from ingesting plastic. Kathy gave a presentation at Sydney Aquarium in May this year to disseminate some of her disturbing research findings. Prior to Kathy's research it was thought that about 2% of turtle mortality may be attributed to plastic. These results have shocked both Kathy and environmental organisations based in Queensland. Such unnecessary waste of marine life from human waste is not new. However it was thought that it occurred elsewhere and not in Australia. Plastic bags, balloons, and bottles were the main culprits.

Are you looking for something a little different for a group outing? New to Sydney and would like to learn more about the marine life found in the area.

Our conservation tours at Sydney Aquarium can be tailored to suit the needs of your group and provide a different perspective on the animals on display at Sydney Aquarium.

All proceeds from the tours go to Sydney Aquarium Conservation Fund (SACF) research projects. Click here to see some of our projects to date.

With all the animals at both Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Wildlife World there is a lot of feeding to be done. But there is also a lot of food waste. From the dugongs alone, more than 90kgs of lettuce is left over each day.  But no longer is the uneaten food wasted. Thanks to a new initiative with Earthpower all animal food waste from our outlets is now turned into electricity!

The initiatve which began at the start of this year, will contribute to a significant amount of energy creation which will be supplied for local domestic energy use.
