Penguin Expedition with Ride
Penguin Expedition is the world first-of-its kind penguin exhibit where guests can get up close and personal to a spectacular colony of King and Gentoo Penguins at SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium.
A continuous chain of boats, each with a capacity of 8 guests, running all day every day carries guests on a journey along the river, through the heart of the colony.
South Coast Shipwreck
Set amongst a beached shipwreck environment, visitors can discover a vast array of animals including those found in Australia’s coastal waters like the cute, boxfish and shy seahorses. Pillage the depths of the sea to find eery Moray Eel and the Crown of Thornes Sea Star. Or peep at tropical fish and amazing coral through slatted timber portholes whilst looking out to shore and watching the playful behaviour of SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium’s colony of Little Penguins.
Dugong Island
Visit our resident rescue dugong, Pig, who is one of only two dugongs in human care in the world. Orphaned in the wild in QLD, Pig arrived in 2008 and took up residence in a purpose-built exhibit. SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium is at the forefront of research being conducted on Dugongs, discovering groundbreaking new information about the species and providing valuable insight into how wild populations can be conserved.
Shark Valley
Face your fears and walk under some of the world's biggest aquarium sharks, including Grey Nurse Sharks as you journey deep under the sea and explore the depths of Shark Valley. When journeying through the parallel underwater tunnels you'll also come across our huge Smooth Stingray, Big Mouth! Encouraging visitors to come face-to-fin with these awe-inspiring creatures in their magnificent underwater display, Shark Valley spans an impressive 100 metres of ocean-tunnel walkthrough that delves deep into the underwater world.
Jurassic Seas
Jurassic Seas takes you into the depths of the ocean to see where life began and meet weird and wonderful living fossils. Learn about evolution and discover the mysterious hagfish, lungfish, Moray Eel and mudskipper.

Note
From 7 September 2026, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium will commence a multi-million-dollar transformation of the current Dugong Island precinct, paving the way for an exciting new ocean-themed experience scheduled to open in 2027. As part of these works, Pig the dugong will be temporarily relocated and can continue to be viewed by guests in our popular Day & Night on the Reef zone. Pig's welfare remains our highest priority, and his move has been carefully managed by our expert animal care team to ensure the highest standards of animal wellbeing. While the Dugong Island area will be temporarily unavailable during the redevelopment, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium will continue to offer an exceptional guest experience, featuring much-loved exhibits including Shark Valley, Penguin Expedition, Day & Night on the Reef, and thousands of incredible marine creatures from Australian and international waters. To support the redevelopment period, during Super Peak trading periods only, SEA LIFE Sydney Aquarium will operate dedicated trade entry times from 8:30am to 10:00am and from 3:00pm onwards.
