About this experience

Airlie Beach Outer Great Barrier Reef and Whitehaven Beach Snorkel Tour This full-day Whitsundays tour combines three of Queensland's most spectacular destinations in one action-packed adventure.

Powered by Rolls-Royce jets, this tour maximises your time at each location while minimising travel time. Your day starts with snorkelling at Bait Reef, home to the renowned Stepping Stones coral formations. Marine biologists guide you through this protected section of the reef, where you'll see colourful marine life and unique coral structures.
