Outer Great Barrier Reef Sailing Cruise

Get set for a full day sailing and snorkeling cruise from Port Douglas, sailing to Mackay Coral Cay on the Outer Great Barrier Reef. Departing at 8.00am, sit back, relax and enjoy the scenic journey to the Outer Reef, with views of the Daintree coastline and Snapper Island. Morning tea is served upon boarding and you can listen in to an interesting marine presentation. As you approach the Outer Reef, you will get a comprehensive snorkel briefing, then enter the water for the first snorkel of the day. Be amazed by the colour and variety of the corals and giant clams. There is an abundance of colourful marine life with different fish, turtles, rays and many other marine species. The reef is full of colour and life! Head to the sand cay on the E-Tender for a look around this spectacular island - make sure to take your camera! Back on board for a delicious buffet lunch and after lunch and the vessel will move to another location. You can then enjoy another snorkel, join the marine biologist and marine guides for an informative guided snorkel tour, or a glass-bottom boat tour on a solar powered glass bottom boat, the 'EV Explorer'! A delicious afternoon tea is served as you enjoy the journey back to Port Douglas. Relax and soak in the incredible views and return to the marina at 5.00pm.
