All participants will check-in at the desk on the second floor near the Coastline Café. All tours leave on time. Guests arriving late are not guaranteed the ability to join the tour and no refunds will be issued for those missing all or part of the tour.
Guests will be taken behind-the-scenes to the topside of the SHARKS! Predators of the Deep habitat. This is the only tour that accesses this area of Georgia Aquarium. Be prepared to see hammerhead, silver tip, sand tiger, and tiger sharks from above.
You’ll have the chance to see a Hammerhead training session, discuss methods of animal husbandry with members of the Animal Care team, and learn about shark conservation efforts before taking a ride in our cage over the habitat.
The cage was specifically designed to be utilized in the SHARKS! habitat. With a slatted floor and multiple viewing windows, you’ll be sure to spot the sharks from above! The cage is a ride that will lift off the deck and move over the water for the length of the habitat.
While the cage is not fully enclosed, guests with extreme claustrophobia may find the confined nature of the cage ride difficult.
The cage’s occupants must be placed for a balanced and smooth ride. This may require parties to be placed separately within the cage during the ride. All attempts to keep parties together will be taken within required safety parameters of the cage operation.
Yes, photos are allowed during the on-deck portion of the tour. No personal items, including phones or cameras, are permitted during the cage ride portion of the tour.
