Discover three breathtaking and distinct reef environments on this established snorkel and dive cruise of the Great Barrier Reef. This exceptional experience is designed to be personalised to you, with access to over 30 exclusive reef sites at the Agincourt Ribbon Reefs and Escape Reef. During the cruise, you’ll learn all about this underwater realm and its inhabitants through a fascinating reef interpretation talk before you set out to explore. Whether snorkelling or diving, you’ll be surrounded by clear outer reef waters teeming with beautiful corals and diverse marine life.

As a snorkeler, you’ll have unlimited time to explore the marine wilderness and even join a guided tour led by a marine biologist. If you’re a first-time diver, you’ll have the chance to try an introductory scuba dive, while certified divers can jump straight in and enjoy up to three dives. Throughout the incredible day, your attentive and friendly crew will ensure you’re well taken care of, with morning and afternoon tea and a delicious tropical buffet lunch featuring fresh prawns to fuel your adventure. Along with the onboard comforts, the special permit to swim with the Dwarf Minke Whales (if they're spotted) makes this experience a unique extraordinary reef excursion.
