Itinerario

  1. Situated nine miles (15 kilometers) north-east of Port Douglas, Low Isles is a coral cay surrounded by 55 acres of reef. The sandy beach and clear, calm lagoon waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Low Isles is well-known for its population of green turtles, keep an eye on the surface as they regularly pop up for air. Occasionally dugongs can be seen grazing on sea grass and large rays may glide by. During the cruise, a Marine Biologist will conduct an informative talk on the fish and corals and provide details on the activities available throughout the day. The 30-meter luxury sailing catamaran offers the excitement of big ship sailing combined with the ultimate in comfort. Relax in the luxurious air-conditioned lounge with fully licensed bar, or soak up the sun under the sails on the expansive deck. On arrival a shuttle will take you from the boat to the island, or you can dive straight in and swim to the beach! Join an organized snorkel tour led by a marine biologist, or take to the water independently and explore at your leisure. Snorkeling equipment is provided and the friendly crew are on hand to assist.You don't have to get wet to enjoy a day at Low Isles. You can join a glass bottom boat tour over the soft coral gardens that surround Low Isles. Your guide will point out giant clams, a variety of fish and corals, and of course be on the lookout for turtles. On land you may like to join a guided beach walk around the small island.

You then have the opportunity to be flexible and change your travel date if you wish. Your booking can be changed at no additional cost directly with the operator once you are in Cairns.

  • 2Don't waste your money!

    The snorkeling was so disappointing; the visability was only about 3-5 feet. They had to tender us to shore and back so there was a bit of waiting for rides. The island was also quite disappointing. We felt like they should have cancelled the trip due to the poor conditions of the reef.

  • 5Wonderful family, must do experience!

    We had a wonderful, family experience - all inclusive package was great including snorkelling gear, glass bottom boat trip, experienced marine biologist on board, morning/afternoon tea and buffet lunch so we only needed money for drinks and ice cream! Staff were friendly and helpful. Loved being able to move between the boat and island to snorkel from the beach made it great for children/beginners. We saw coral, lots of fish and even ticked off my bucket list seeing sea turtles in the ocean! Overall a very memorable day out, great value for money and would recommend.

  • 5Every detail thought of…

    Recently went as a family with 2 kids under 4 on the wavedancer and I actually can’t fault it! The staff were so friendly and helpful, the service was second to none, feel like they thought of every detail and made you feel so comfortable and well looked after. Their attention to safety and comfort especially was exceptional and they made it feel like you were on your own private tour rather than a big group tour. We will definitely do this tour again.

  • 5Great day trip with...

    Great day trip with options for kids too young to snorkel. Staff were great and food was generous. Thoroughly recommend.

  • 1Terrible experience.

    Why does no one mention the boat ride to the Island? Take the sea sickness pills!! Our family didn't and it was a disaster. So bad family members couldn't even snorkel when we did get to the Island. Also, the snorkelling conditions were terrible. Staff are outstanding, so there is that. But, I do not recommend.

  • 5It was amazing even swam over a reef shark!

    Very friendly crew my husband couldn’t swim but he went on the glass bottom boat and saw the coral , then he went with the marine biologist around the isle which he thought was very interesting. I saw lots of different fish , loved the parrot fish , someone saw an octopus . Only draw back couldn’t get my camera to work underwater so will have to get a GoPro and do it all again!!!

About Port Douglas

Port Douglas is a relaxed seaside town on Queensland's tropical coast, set between the Daintree rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef.

Port Douglas began as a gold-rush port in the 1870s and is now an easygoing resort town on a spit of land between the Coral Sea and Dickson Inlet. Four Mile Beach curves away to the north fringed with palms, Macrossan Street holds the cafés and restaurants, and Flagstaff Hill gives a view over the beach and the mountains behind. A small white chapel, St Mary's by the Sea, stands beside the park at the water's edge.

Top-ranked sights in Port Douglas: Mossman Gorge, Daintree Rainforest, Agincourt Reefs.
