Great Barrier Reef – Optional activities during included full day tour

Included in our Australian itineraries is a full day excursion to the Great Barrier Reef. You’ll be amazed by its magical marine life and colourful coral from the moment you step off your catamaran and out onto the Marine World platform located on the Outer Reef.

For a closer look at this World-Heritage Listed site, why not opt to snorkel in the sheltered coral lagoon? If you’d prefer not to take a dip, you can always view the reef from the semi-submersible reef viewer, glass bottom boat or underwater observatory.
If you’d like to discover everything there is to know about the Great Barrier Reef, there are a number of activities available at an additional Tour Guideline Price, including scuba diving (no experience necessary). Alternatively, you can join a Marine Biologist on a guided snorkel safari, or head to the skies and soar above the reef on a spectacular scenic helicopter flight.
