Your Experience

Check in at Crystalbrook Marina in Port Douglas and join a dedicated snorkeling vessel designed for a premium reef tour. From the moment you board, the crew ensures you feel comfortable and well‑prepared, providing a comprehensive equipment fitting and safety briefing while you enjoy light refreshments. As you set sail, enjoy ocean views en route to three outer reef snorkel sites.

At the first site, you’ll snorkel among colorful coral and marine life. Certified instructors guide you through the gear and safety steps, making it easy even for beginners. The boat then moves to more reef spots, giving you plenty of time to explore the clear waters. At one stop, enjoy a relaxing break with morning tea as you take in the beauty around you.

Visit two more reef sites, each offering unique marine life and snorkelling opportunities. Learn about reef conservation through onboard eco-presentations. Enjoy a tropical buffet lunch and afternoon tea before returning to Port Douglas.
