Aquarium of Western Australia 
|
|
At Hillary's Boat Harbor on the Indian Ocean, the main attraction is the Aquarium of Western Australia (formerly Underwater World). Visitors can walk through a glass underwater tunnel and observe over 200 species of native marine animals, including stingrays, mantas, dolphins and various kinds of shark. Diving with the shark in the aquarium and playing with the dolphins are both unique experiences.
There are also half-day trips (Sept.-Nov. Tue.-Sun.) to watch the whales when they are diving in the ocean off the coast of Fremantle.
