The Australian Shark and Ray Centre

Shark and Ray Feeding

   
Don the mask, slip on a wetty (wetsuit) and here we go! Get up close and personal whilst snorkelling indoors (the water is 25 degees C) with Australia’s friendliest sharks and coolest rays. Or if you want to stay dry, we can slip you into a set of waterproof waders –most of the shark and ray feeding is done in waist deep water.

We start the experience with a little walk or swim with our sharks and rays, before we embark on the shark and ray feeding. Hand feed or pat these awesome little critters, whilst their brothers and sisters cruise around your feet. Have a little paddle, see if you can entice them up for a bit or just watch them from the surface. You will be truly surprised at how gentle they can be.

 Then we’ll move onto feeding the big fish and you will be astounded with how gentle a 70kg Black Ray (Fred is the star of the show) can be. Imagine how excited you’ll be when you are cuddled by him!!! And don’t worry-all our rays are de-barbed.

Get snorkelling out into the deep bit or just sit quietly and watch our schools of sharks swim around and say G’day just before the shark and ray feed.

Snorkelling and the shark and ray feed with our fish is absolutely 100% risk free (except the odd mouthful of water as you learn to snorkel). There’s no currents, no waves….just tranquillity and excitement to spare.

Open to anyone from 5 years (5-10 year olds must be accompanied by an adult), bring the whole family along for the buzz of the year
