About This Experience
Dive into a world full of surprises with this outer Great Barrier Reef eco tour from Port Douglas, perfect for small groups and complete with sightseeing, snorkelling, and dining!
All aboard the 25m custom-built catamaran, the ‘Sailaway VII’ for a journey of discovery and exploration – join a group of professionals who will lead you on your coral expedition, with a focus on sustainability. Bask in the beauty of the Daintree Forest as you cruise along the coastline, past Snapper Island, before sailing out to the Outer Reef.
En route to the first snorkel site, listen to your marine biologist and master reef guide as they enlighten you about the reefs and their crucial role in the marine ecosystem.
‘Sailaway’ has exclusive access to the Mackay Cay corals, this exclusivity lets you explore the reef at your own pace. The shallow and sheltered waters are ideal for taking underwater photos of the vibrant coral gardens, turtles, giant clams, and fish species, in their natural habitat.
Upon arriving at the pristine Mackay Coral Cay, it’s time for the real fun to begin! Prepare to be spellbound by nature’s sheer diversity as you dive into an underwater world teeming with coral reefs and exotic marine life. Snorkel alongside the graceful turtles, encounter schools of fish, and marvel at the unique coral formations that are renowned worldwide!
Swim to your heart’s content in the crystal-clear waters, before getting back on the vessel for a glass-bottom boat tour. You’ll see a side of the coral ecosystem that you may not see during your snorkel experience, so keep your cameras handy!
Next, you can savour a scrumptious buffet lunch – refuel and recharge before moving onto the second reef site to continue your island exploration. Stretch your sea legs and let water be your playground as you swim or snorkel in the blue lagoon. You can also simply laze around the beach and soak up the sun.
Book your tickets today and experience the magic of the Great Barrier Reef unfold before your very eyes!
