Reef HQ
"The World's Best Living Reef Experience"

Reef HQ is the world's best living reef experience. Its innovative exhibits provide a close encounter with the creatures of the Great Barrier Reef. Its centrepiece is the world's largest coral reef ecosystem on land, living and breathing as it does in the wild. With a host of live exhibits and a full daily program, Reef HQ is the first page or the closing chapter in a fantastic Great Barrier Reef Holiday. A 20-metre long acrylic walk-through tunnel allows excellent viewing into the 750,000 litre Predator Exhibit. The wreck of the S.S. Yongala provides an eery backdrop and is home to shark species such as the blacktip and whitetip reef sharks; leopard and nurse sharks live together with stingrays, giant trevally and a green turtle. Watching them feed is quite a spectacle.

The tunnel also reveals a 2.5 million litre Coral Reef Exhibit (the largest in the world), with its hard and soft corals, providing a home for the thousands of beautiful fish, giant clams, sea cucumbers, sea stars and other coral reef creatures.

Reef HQ is conveniently located in the heart of Townsville, within easy walking distance to Flinders Street Mall and ferry terminal and is open from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm every day of the year except Christmas day. Admission is valid all day and all activities are included.

Reef HQ is your opportunity to visit the Great Barrier Reef without getting wet, sunburnt or seasick. Whether it's education, study or fun, there is nowhere else like Reef HQ.
