Explore the Great Barrier Reef’s Low Isles for a full day on a catamaran cruise from Port Douglas. With a marine biologist as your guide, you’ll have informative commentary to accompany your beach lounging, snorkeling, or glass-bottom boat tour. Enjoy the ability to travel light, as cruises include lunch and snorkeling equipment.
Start your day’s adventure in the Great Barrier Reef's Low Isles with convenient hotel pickup in Port Douglas, and then transfer to the marina where you’ll board a luxury catamaran. With an early morning departure, you’ll arrive in the Low Isles before many of the crowds show up.
Spend the next four and a half hours at your leisure—go snorkeling using the provided gear, simply lounge on the beach or boat, stroll down to the 19th-century lighthouse, or opt for a snorkeling or glass-bottom boat tour. The fact that a marine biologist guide leads these two tours means you'll get in-depth information about the reef and its colorful inhabitants, and there is plenty of time to ask questions.
Midday, refuel with a seafood-focused lunch on board the boat.
Return to Port Douglas and enjoy convenient drop-off back at your hotel.

Snorkeling was a fascinating, wonder-stuck experience which I recommend all visitors to the Barrier Reef to try. I believe the snorkeling experience could have been better had the crew on QuickSilver given some basic lessons or tips on snorkeling to visitors enroute to the Outer...More
