Reef HQ is the world's largest living coral reef aquarium and national reef education centre for the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. It is the only coral reef aquarium on the Queensland coast for visitors to experience the reef from a fish-eye-view. Both a tourist attraction and an educational facility, Reef HQ boasts a range of displays and exhibits designed to stimulate visitors' curiosity so they learn about the Great Barrier Reef and leave eager to know more.
The huge aquarium acts as a window to the reef revealing thousands of incredible fish and reef creatures. Even on a dive trip a visitor would rarely see so many creatures in such detail.

The 20 metre long acrylic walk-through tunnel allows excellent viewing into the 750,000 litre predator exhibit on one side where you can see various shark species and a two and a half million litre coral reef exhibit (the largest in the world), with it's hard and soft corals, providing a home for the thousands of beautiful fish, giant clams, sea cucumbers, sea stars and other coral reef creatures on the other.
