Low Isles: Guided Boat Tour from Port Douglas + Snorkelling + Tea

About this experience

The Low Isles Guided Boat Tour is a four-hour reef excursion departing from 44 Wharf Street, Port Douglas, taking visitors out to Low Isles, a coral cay on the Great Barrier Reef near Cairns. The journey to the island takes roughly 30 minutes by boat, and the tour runs in both morning and afternoon sessions, keeping group sizes manageable and the reef relatively uncrowded. Low Isles is a small, sheltered cay surrounded by a calm lagoon, making it well suited to snorkelling at most fitness levels. Once at the island, guests have 2.5 hours to explore the reef and its surroundings. Snorkelling can be done directly from the beach or from the back of the boat, as the coral is close to shore. A glass-bottom boat tour is also available for those who prefer to stay dry. Guides lead a snorkelling session and a separate island walk, covering the ecology of the reef and the cay itself. All snorkelling equipment is provided, and morning or afternoon tea is included depending on the session booked. Tickets cover the boat transfer, live guide, guided snorkelling, island walk, glass-bottom boat tour, and tea. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are not included. The tour is not wheelchair accessible.
