About Us

This unique and increasingly popular attraction gives you an introduction to several of the marine species living off the Darwin coast.

At high tide hundreds of fish come into the shallows looking for a free feed - and they certainly get it at Aquascene!

It is a ritual that began in the late 1950's when a local resident threw scraps of food to a few mullet. Somehow word got around in the fish populace and now milkfish, bream, catfish and many other species join the mullet in the skirmish for a meal.

The Experience

Staff supply visitors with bread to feed the milling fish. Adults and childrens alike can wade in the warm waters while hand feeding the throng at the bottom of a sloping ramp. Tier seating is available for those who wish to throw food to the fish from a distance or to just sit and watch the activities. Recent expansions to the feeding area offer increased access to the fish and added comfort for visitors.
