Port Douglas Reef Tours | Half Day Snorkelling at Low Isles
The Low Isles Reef is just 15 minutes away from Port Douglas and you won't get seasick! The trip is 2 ¼ hours all together, which includes 1 ½ of snorkelling. This will give you half a day to do something else.
We visit the reef at Low Isles (not the Island) - one of the Great Barrier Reefs most spectacular coral cays.
This is also where our glass bottom boat is located so even if you don't swim you can still see the spectacular reef,
turtles and diverse marine life.
Explore Low Isles on the Great Barrier Reef
Situated 15 kilometres north-east of Port Douglas, the Low Isles comprise a four-acre coral cay surrounded by 55 acres of reef.
With an abundance of marine life and coral and a large population of sea turtles, Low Isles is a perfect day or few hours out.
Snorkel right from the beach, or explore the island and find the active lighthouse. An ideal spot for couples and families alike for the range in tours suited to all tastes and budgets.

Low Isles Tour
The Low Isles are just off of Port Douglas near Cairns.
if you are staying in Cairns then the drive up and back along the coast is one of the most under-rated beach drives in Australia. The road winds between the rainforest and the ocean. On the way home, allow plenty of time for photos if you can.
The cruise out to Low Isle occurs at a leisurely pace which suits the day. The only structures on the island are a light house and some research buildings. When you are swimming off the beach the island looks almost deserted.
We took a guided snorkelling tour, before heading off on our own snorkelling adventure.
The day includes lunch and after swimming around for a while you certainly feel like you have earned it.
The variety of marine life just off the beach is amazing and we even had a turtle wanting to come for a swim with us.
The shuttle that took us too and from the island was also the Glass Bottom Boat which made heading back to the Wavedancer in the afternoon a pleasant way to farewell the island.

Low Isles Fun Day
One of the perks of living in Port Douglas (in Far North Queensland, Australia) is definitely being on the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Low Isles is situated a short distance from the Port Douglas marina and offers a stunning day on a tropical island!
With beautiful soft corals, a beautiful beach and dozens of turtles swimming by, it's hard not to have a good day!

Exploring Low Isles and the Great Barrier Reef
When was the last time you did something truly amazing? Something truly unique?
We all long for such an experience, and we were fortunate enough to find just that with Liquid Desire. Anthony (the owner and our captain) asked us to join him and his golf buddies to celebrate the winners of the Mirage Country Club Championships for a private charter to Low Isles in the Great Barrier Reef. When someone invites you aboard a luxury sail charter with exclusive sailing and snorkeling adventures, it’s hard to say no to the trip of your dreams... Naturally, we RSVP’d Yes!
Low Isles (1 of 900 islands in the Great Barrier Reef) is an uninhabited cay with coral gardens below. The reef was all that we had hoped it would be, with a variety of colorful fish, corals and even turtles.
As if snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef wasn't enough, our boat was equipped with all kinds of fun toys. We could stand up paddle board or try our hand at skurfing, a combination of water skiing and surfing; something so unique that we had never seen before. It was one of those days you didn’t want to end. Liquid Desire had delivered on its promise, giving us a perfect slice of paradise and had made our tropical dreams a reality.
