What to expect
You'll board at Port Douglas and cruise to Low Isles, a national park sandbank ringed by living coral. Once there, you can enter the water independently or join a guide through the shallows—most of the best snorelling happens in 2–6 metres. The glass-bottomed boat gives you a different angle without wetting your head. A walk around the island takes 45 minutes or so; the terrain is easy but exposed. Crew provide tea, coffee, and light snacks throughout.
Good to know
Bring reef-safe sunscreen and a hat; the island has no shade. The boat is cashless as of July 2024—bring card or mobile pay. Not suitable if you have serious heart or breathing concerns, though it suits most fitness levels.
