Snorkelling is oh so easy from the stairs that lead from the pontoon into the water with bouyed off snorkelling areas and professional crew to give snorkelling tips and safety offers on watch the entire time!

Glide effortlessly from the activity platforms' edge, as here you will easily be able to snorkel and dive amongst some of the most spectacular coral gardens and marine life diversity on the Great Barrier Reef.

If you prefer not to get into the water and choose to stay dry, you can still embrace the natural wonderland below with a visit to the activity platform's underwater observatory or from the comfort of the semi-submersible submarine tours which offers a full and interesting commentary.
