New behind the scenes tour three times daily at UnderWater World

UnderWater World on the Sunshine Coast is giving visitors the rare and unique opportunity to sneak a peek behind the scenes and look through the eyes of a marine expert, during the upcoming school holidays (from 15th December to 28th January).
The Behind the Scenes tour allows visitors to closely explore the attraction's everyday processes and learn about what marine experts do to nurture turtles, feed the marine life and keep 2.5 million litres of water at the highest quality, with three tour sessions daily at 11.30am, 1pm and 2.30pm.
Visitors will be taken on a special journey behind the scenes of UnderWater World to see some of the most important parts of the attraction including the food preparation room, rescue and rehabilitation area and the holding and recovery tanks.
The tour at the Merlin Entertainment owned attraction gives turtle lovers insight into how and where turtles are cared for before being released into the wild, including a visit to turtle hospital where rescued turtles are monitored and treated.
The tour also includes a visit to the sand and filter zone, food preparation room, rescue and rehabilitation, holding and recovery tanks, Shark Dive Xtreme preparation area and on selected tour times, the chance to see the divers feeding the animals.
UnderWater World's Behind the Scenes tour is just one of the many close animal encounters people can experience these school holidays.
Other animal experiences include a seal photo, seal swim, seal encounter, seal trainer for a day and Shark Dive Xtreme where visitors can meet their favourite animal friends.
The seal experiences give kids these holidays a chance to cosy up next to a seal for a memorable photo, swim with them or become a Seal Trainer for a Day.
