Dive into Manly
Start your journey around in our Shipwreck zone and meet our adorable Little Penguin Colony! You'll get to watch these playful penguins splash about in the pool and hop along on the sandy shore.
Look Beneath the Surface
Continue your journey through the aquarium and discover what lives just below the surface here in Darling Harbour. Meet all the local species including seahorses, octopus, and an array of fish.
Journey up the Queensland Coast
Next, journey up the Queensland coast to meet the famous Pig the dugong. Pig the dugong is a BIG eater and is fed fresh cos lettuce every 15 minutes by his loving team of keepers.
Voyage to Macquarie Island
See Sydney’s only sub-Antarctic penguin colony as your journey to our next zone inspired by Australia’s Macquarie Island. Meet our colony of King and Gentoo Penguins and they waddle, slide and slip along the ice.
Escape to the Great Barrier Reef
End your journey with our newest zone: Day and Night on the Reef, inspired by the world's largest living thing - the Great Barrier Reef! Meet turtles, reef sharks, and a wide variety of tropical fish!
Meet the Locals
Meet Myrtle the Turtle
Myrtle the turtle was rescued in 2013 after she was involved in a boating accident. She was nursed back to heath by the team at SEA LIFE Manly Sanctuary. She recovered from her wounds, but air became trapped under her shell as it healed, causing her to float. To keep her swimming happily our team fitted her with weight plates on the back of her shell. She now swims around with ease in our Day and Night on the Reef zone!
Meet Pig The Dugong
Affectionately named after his eating habits, Pig was rescued from Forrest Beach in North Queensland when he became separated from his mother at a very early age. After a period of rehabilitation, Pig was released into the wild. However when he was found washed up again a decision was made not to release him again for fears he wouldn't survive.
Meet Murdoch the Grey Nurse Shark
Murdoch is a very special shark as he is one of only a handful of Grey Nurse Sharks that was born in human care and this year he turned 13!
Grey Nurse Sharks are Critically Endangered on the East Coast of Australia and Murdoch acts as an important ambassador for the species – educating thousands of guests to the Aquarium each year about the importance of sharks in the eco-system and helping guests understand why Grey Nurse Sharks are called the ‘Labradors of the Sea’!
Meet Sphen and Magic the Penguins
Same-sex couple, Sphen and Magic began developing a strong bond and became inseparable before breeding season, and are constantly seen waddling around and going for swims together. The couple were given a foster egg to look after... and it hatched! Baby 'Sphengic' was born and they are now a happy penguin family of three!
We've Made Some Changes - COVID-19 updates around the aquarium

We have introduced a range of new health and safety measures that seek to reduce the risk associated with the presence of COVID-19 that are in line with government advice and the requirements of local health authorities.
