Half Day Calypso Low Isles Tour on the Great Barrier Reef from Port Douglas

Adults from $195

Join us for a snorkelling experience at a secluded island at the best times of the day….early morning or afternoon!

Arriving at Low Isles after a 30-minute journey, guests will explore the coral reef and its inhabitants without the crowds.

The comfortable vessel travels to Low Isles with only 23 guests and allows approximately 2.5 hours to snorkel and explore this picturesque coral cay, a similar amount of time as some full day tours have at the island. Snorkel in the calm lagoon or view the reef from our glass bottom boat, the crew will provide tours for guests to learn and appreciate the incredible Great Barrier Reef. Access to the reef is very easy, either from the back of the vessel or from the beach as the reef hugs close to the island.

  • Approximately two and a half hours at Low Isles

  • Guided snorkel tour

  • Glass bottom boat

  • All snorkelling equipment

  • Flotation devices, prescription masks

  • Lycra suits

  • Easy access into the water via platform

With two departures daily, guests can access the island and explore the sandy paths winding through the vegetation. See first hand the historical Lighthouse, the Lighthouse Keeper's home and the Weather Station where local weather data is collected. Birdlife found here is spectacular, with many seabirds breeding and nesting in the vegetation and on the ground.

This tour is perfect for visitors who have limited time and want to explore the picturesque Low Isles on the Great Barrier Reef.

54321 We did the afternoon trip on Sunday the 22nd of September. This trip was amazing! Saw so much while snorkelling on the reef with our AMAZING guides, including turtles, a wide variety of fish and corals, and a black-tipped reef shark 🙂 The guides were very knowledgeable, friendly and really made the trip 5-star 🙂
