Underwater Observatory Tour
The Underwater Observatory Tour is a 1 hour 45 minute experience that includes your Train Ride out and back as well as a 45-minute guided tour of the 8-metre-deep Underwater Observatory that is one of only 6 natural aquariums in the world!
Discover some of the 300 marine species that call the Jetty home through eleven viewing windows at various levels within the 9.5 metre wide observation chamber. Train departs the shore on the hour, every hour.


mini Tour
The Mini Tour is a 15 minute self-guided tour of the Underwater Observatory that requires visitors to walk out to the Underwater Observatory as no Train Ride is included. A tour guide is present if you have any questions but they’re not necessarily guiding you around.
Mini Tours start at 5 minutes past the hour, every hour and we advise to leave the shore around 30 minutes prior to allow time to walk to the end of the Jetty. Mini Tours are not bookable online and can only be purchased in-person at the Interpretive Centre (first blue buildings on the Jetty).
Please note Mini Tours are a seasonal offering and their availability is dependent on weather conditions.

Train departs the shore on the hour, every hour.
