Irukandji Shark and Ray Encounters is an aquatic attraction in Anna Bay, near Sydney, where visitors can get close to a range of live sharks and rays across several encounter formats. The facility runs sessions lasting around two hours, with knowledgeable staff providing English commentary throughout, giving context on the behaviour, biology, and conservation status of the animals on show. Five per cent of annual profit goes directly into ocean research and conservation programmes, making it one of the more purposeful Sydney attractions for anyone interested in marine life.

Encounter options range from a shallow wade in a lagoon and poolside petting and feeding sessions to a wetsuit dip, a tropical snorkel among sharks and rays, a dedicated zebra shark encounter, and a tawny nurse shark encounter where participants can feel the suction these animals generate, reportedly up to six litres of water per second. Entry covers admission to the aquarium as a spectator, interaction from the pool edges, free animal food for feeding sessions, and access to hot showers. The in-water experience is not included in the base ticket price but is available to purchase on-site. Wheelchair access is available, and the starting point is 2 Jessie Road, Anna Bay.
