Reef Snorkel: Set off on a catamaran adventure to the Great Barrier Reef, the largest living thing on Earth. Explore the vibrant coral gardens and encounter a variety of marine species, from reef sharks to turtles. With a marine naturalist on board to provide insights, enjoy swimming and snorkeling opportunities in an open ocean, deep-water environment directly from the vessel, with the option to try scuba diving for a deeper exploration of the reef (additional cost). Replenish your energy with a delectable lunch and then take advantage of some extra time for more underwater adventures before heading back to your ship.
Requirements & Restrictions: For safety reasons, this tour is not recommended for guests who are competent swimmers in open ocean conditions. Participation in snorkeling or diving (optional activities) requires that guests must be able to swim and to comply with all safety requirements and procedures implemented by the operator. Certain medical conditions including asthma, lung and heart conditions may prevent guests from participating in snorkeling. Guests with such conditions will be required to complete a medical questionnaire and undergo an assessment by trained GBR staff on the day. The operator also reserves the right to determine if guests are fit to participate based on their swimming ability and physical condition. All guests must sign a waiver. A short walk to and from the Reef Fleet Terminal is required.
What to Bring: Please wear comfortable flat-soled shoes, clothing suited to the weather conditions, a hat, jacket, reef-safe sunscreen and bottled water. Make sure to bring swimmers and a towel.
Good to Know: Please note swimming takes place in a deep-water, open ocean environment from the back of a vessel, not off a sandy shore/Pontoon. Snorkel, mask, fins, Stinger/Lycra suits and flotation devices are included. Travel time to the Great Barrier Reef is approximately 90 minutes each way. Please be aware that depending on weather and sea conditions, the journey may be bumpy at times. Guests prone to seasickness are advised to take appropriate precautions. Marine life sightings cannot be guaranteed as they vary by season and weather conditions.
