Escape to an untouched coral paradise just 30 minutes from shore, where you'll enjoy the same reef time as full-day tours but with half the commitment. This exclusive half-day adventure gives you 2.5 hours to explore vibrant coral gardens, spot playful marine life, and wander the historic lighthouse island—all without battling the crowds that descend on other reef locations.
Head to Crystalbrook Marina in Port Douglas, where the friendly Calypso crew will welcome you aboard and fit you with snorkelling gear. Choose from convenient morning (7:15am) or afternoon (1:00pm) departures to suit your schedule.
Low Isles is a picturesque coral cay where the Great Barrier Reef hugs close to the shoreline, making it perfect for snorkellers of all experience levels. This protected marine sanctuary boasts spectacular coral formations teeming with colorful fish, turtles, and rays, all accessible via easy beach entry or from the back of the vessel.
Expert-guided snorkel tours revealing hidden underwater treasures.
Historical lighthouse walks offer fascinating insights into the island's maritime heritage.
Glass bottom boat tours for those who prefer to stay dry while witnessing reef wonders.
Sandy walking paths wind through island vegetation, rich with breeding seabirds.
Light refreshments and morning or afternoon tea are included to keep you energized throughout your adventure.
After 2.5 well-spent hours, reboard for a relaxing 30-minute cruise back to Port Douglas, taking in the coastal views.
