Port Douglas Private Snorkelling Charters, Designed Just For You.

Explore the Reef With A Marine Biologist or Naturalist Guide.

The Great Barrier Reef is a wonder of the world. A vast underwater landscape that is around the same size as Germany or Japan, but it is not the scale that impresses, it’s the detail. Snorkelling in shallow waters with the corals right beneath you, you see starfish and clams, sea whips and anemones, with an abundance of marine life. It’s mesmerising and beautiful, but what exactly are you looking at? What is that fish? Why does that coral look like that? When you choose our Port Douglas private snorkelling charters, you are guided in the water by a Marine Biologist or Naturalist who will identify the fish and answer all your questions. We have an in-water guide-to-guest ratio of 1:6, which provides the time and space for individual questions and conversation. This transforms a viewing experience into an enriching educational experience, meaning you leave the reef feeling more connected to and engaged with, this incredible environment.

With a dedicated snorkelling charter, we can select reef sites specifically for the interests and abilities of your group. Think sheltered coral lagoons with clear, protected waters, or beautiful sand cays surrounded by fringing reef. You comfort is our priority. We provide professional snorkelling equipment, including mask, snorkels and fins with prescription masks available. Floatation support is also available, including life rings, life jackets and buoyancy noodles.
