A day centred on the water

Sites are selected from areas including Opal and Agincourt Reefs according to conditions. The crew provides equipment, instruction and briefings, with a guided snorkel tour included. Steps from a lowered platform lead into the water, and flotation devices are available.

A cold buffet lunch, morning and afternoon tea and seasonal protective suits are included. Rest aboard between sites before getting back in for a different view of the reef.

This is an open-water snorkelling trip for guests with reasonable swimming ability and fitness. Scuba diving is optional and costs extra; all booked dives are guided. There is no glass-bottom boat alternative.
