Full description

Experience snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Snorkel at 3 incredible reef sites and enjoy relaxing breaks in between.

Your experience begins with a pickup from your hotel from where you will be transported to the Crystalbrook Marina. Arrive at the marina and be welcomed onboard. Receive an outline of the day along with a safety briefing conducted by the crew.

Depart the marina and venture to the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and arrive at the first reef site. Divers will be briefed while traveling to the reef. Once moored, divers are ready to go while all other guests are joined together for a snorkel briefing.

See much of the reef’s colors and marine life, visible within just a couple of meters of the water’s surface. Snorkeling offers all swimmers, regardless of their skill level, the opportunity to see this diverse eco-system up close. Morning tea is served before moving to the second reef site. A delicious buffet lunch will be served and you may choose to join the interpretive reef talk and or a guided snorkel tour.

Float effortlessly over rich, colorful coral gardens teeming with life from the cute and playful clownfish to the graceful beauty of the green turtle. Giant clams, stingrays, Maori wrasse, codfishes, and colorful parrotfish, are just some of the hundreds of species you may encounter.

Head to the third and last reef site for the day to snorkel, dive, relax, or spend the time as you wish. Afternoon tea is served before commencing the journey back to Port Douglas. Arrive back at the Crystalbrook Marina for the transfer back to your accommodation if required.

We really enjoyed of tour to great barrier reef by Clypso. All crews on the board were supper friendly, supportive and helpful. The food served was good and the snorkeling equipment were all clean and intact. The tour started and finished on schedule. The only downside I can say is about the first spot of snorkeling as the water was not that much clear. However, It could be also because of the season and the wavy water. In total, I am happy of their services and recommend it to all who want to experience diving in the great barrier reef.

Amazing tour organised by Calypso reef cruises. Everything from the start of the day was perfect. The crew was absolutely clear with their information and ever ready to help. The reef snorkelling was an exceptional experience for myself who is not a swimmer or a snorkeler. One of the crew member swam with me and kept eye on me always checking if i am doing fine. Food provided on the cruise was also decent and sumptuous. Overall a great experience and will come back to it
