About this tour
Sprint out to Port Douglas's Outer Reef in a zippy speedboat, reaching pristine snorkelling grounds in under two hours. With just 14 passengers max, you get genuine elbow room to explore coral and fish at your own pace. The boat ride itself—quick enough to sidestep seasickness—is half the appeal. Includes wetsuit, mask and fins; just bring your own snacks and sunscreen.
Highlights

What to expect
You'll meet 30 minutes early for briefing and fit-out. The boat accelerates hard across open water—expect spray and thrills rather than a leisurely cruise. Once anchored at the reef, drop in with your gear and explore the coral formations and fish life around you. The water's generally calm at the site, but the ride out is genuinely brisk. Spend two to three hours snorkelling at whatever depth and pace suits you. The return journey mirrors the outbound rush. Bring a confident swimming ability; this isn't a learn-to-snorkel experience.
Good to know
Pack your own snacks, towel, hat and high-SPF sunscreen. Arrive 30 minutes before departure. Spinal injuries, pregnancy and cardiovascular concerns rule this out. Minimum age seven; infants not permitted. Weather dependent—rough seas can cancel trips. You must be a capable swimmer.
