Here beautiful hard coral gardens rise to within a couple of meters of the surface making snorkelling easy and really spectacular.

The Cay is a fragile ecosystem of brilliant white sands with warm shallow water and an abundant of marine life including colourful soft corals. Passions of Paradise is an award winning boat, and most recently won the 2005 Queensland Tourism Awards.
