About this activity
Sail from Port Douglas aboard a luxury catamaran to visit Low Isles in the quieter morning hours, before the majority of visitors arrive. After cruising from the mainland, arrive at Low Isles, where you can spend four and a half hours at Low Isles, a coral cay island where you can relax under palm trees on the white sands and snorkel off-beach in the sheltered lagoon’s undersea coral gardens.
Take a walk to Low Isles’ historic lighthouse, dating from 1878, or learn about the Great Barrier Reef’s magical underwater world of iridescent fish and fluorescent coral on a guided snorkel tour led by a marine biologist. There’s more fun eco-education aboard a glass-bottom boat tour, with stunning coral views and expert commentary.
After a seafood buffet lunch on board the catamaran, soak up the sun on the deck or return to the water for a final snorkel before returning to Port Douglas by 4pm.
Only a select group of operators are permitted to visit the coral cay Low Isles, the only Great Barrier Reef island a short sail from Port Douglas. This cruise combines luxury and eco credentials, for a premium reef experience.

Great Sailing trip. Enough space on board. Good snorkeling induction also for beginners. Great sailing back to the port. Absolutely recommended.
As someone who has snorkelled the outer reef only in the past this was a different experience. The coral didn't have the colour I was used to nor were there any fish to speak of. There was however lots of variety in the coral reef. Staff were professional and food plentiful. The glass bottom boat is also a good addition as Jaz gave us a lot of additional info. The ride out and back to reef was really pleasant too amongst the gorgeous scenery.
Excellent - cant speak highly enough of this trip. Staff very knowledgeable. Nothing too much trouble for them. Food - delicious and plenty of.
excellent port douglass trip. excellent staff, clean boat, excellent instructors and good food.
Our family mom, dad and four teenage kids thoroughly enjoyed this trip. The ship has a limited number of guests, which made a big difference when snorkeling. The crew is friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. It was a safe, relaxed atomsphere. We didn't feel rushed when we were snorkeling. The food was excellent. And sailing back it is a sail boat was a bonus. We'd do it again.
Couldnt have asked for anything better. Great day!
Excellent but know that it is the inner reef. Saw and swam alongside a turtle which was my highlight. The food provided during the day was amazing and plentiful.
We had a great time, the crew was amazing. The food was outstanding. A bit disappointed with the snorkel area. I've done a tour before with another company and saw more vibrant fish and turtles, baby sharks. Overall it was great.
