— What You Can Expect —
Start the day off with a trip to the Reef Fleet Terminal and board the fast and reliable catamaran for a cruise to the Outer Great Barrier Reef. Stroll around the spacious catamaran on your way to Marine World, a private location on the outer part of the Great Barrier Reef—away from any possible disruptions to your tour.
After a short briefing, snorkel around Marine World and swim in the clear water with some of the sea creatures. Look around underwater with your goggles and spot the different reef formations and aquatic plants and creatures. If not snorkelling, check out the reef and its inhabitants through the glass-bottom boat tour, where you can be right above the reef and observe how the fishes swim about.
Watch the fish-feeding demonstration and learn more about these sea creatures through the commentary given by the marine biologist during the tour. Spot various fish species, like regal blue tangs or clownfish—more popularly known as Dory and Nemo from Finding Nemo. Learn more about conservation efforts from your guide, and gain insight into how tours like this commit to operating with minimal impact on the environment.
Visit the first-of-its-kind, fully functioning scientific lab where reef research and projects will be conducted. Stop by the pontoon's licensed bar on the top level where guests can enjoy cold beverages while looking out over the magic of the reef.
