An Apollonaut travel guide
A thoughtful way to visit.
Care begins with understanding the place you are visiting and being precise about the part you play.

Our part in the visit
Apollonaut sells tickets and provides booking support. Cairns Aquarium cares for its animals and runs its own conservation work, and our role gives us no part in that work.
Cairns Aquarium describes itself as dedicated to the conservation of the animals and plants of the Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics. That work and its results belong to the aquarium; this page sets out a modest starting point for our own part: useful information, respect for the animals and honesty about what our service can substantiate.
Small decisions, made with care
Before travelling, read the current visitor guidance. During a visit, keep your hands off the tanks unless staff invite you to the touch pool, and follow staff instructions. The aquarium encourages visitors to bring reusable bottles.
These are suggestions for considerate visiting. They are not evidence that buying a ticket through Apollonaut funds conservation or reduces a trip’s environmental impact.
How we would report a future programme
If we support a conservation, community or environmental programme in future, this page will say what it is for, who runs it, how long it lasts and what evidence shows its results, including anything that is still uncertain.
Today we have no conservation programme, donation scheme, carbon calculation or environmental certification to announce, so we do not claim one.
