On this five-hour trip, you’ll head by boat to the Great Barrier Reef to snorkel and dive in two spectacular locations on the outer reef. You’ll be kitted out with snorkelling and scuba gear before plunging into the crystal-clear waters to discover a magical world of colourful fish, vivid corals and diverse marine life.

Before heading your second dive spot, you’ll be treated to a feast on board of barbecued fish, steak and prawns served with a selection of fresh salads. You can also opt to add a helicopter flight over the reef to your experience or join a marine biologist for a semi-submersible tour with informative commentary.
