Activity Overview

Experience a fabulous day on the Outer Barrier Reef on a spacious pontoon. During this journey the reef naturalist will teach you about the natural wonders of the reef. Take a guided snorkel expedition or simply explore the reef by yourself, under the watchful eyes of trained lifeguards. The snorkelling area is fully enclosed for your safety. Small children can enjoy the safety of the enclosed watching area. If you prefer a reef experience without getting wet, there are also semi-submersible and glass bottom boat tours, marine touch tank and an underwater theatre to view the fish feeding.

Spend a memorable day here and be amazed by the unsurpassed beauty and splendour of Australia's vast underwater playground.

If you prefer, get wet and snorkel, with stunning corals a few strokes from the pontoon.
