You can see the Reef from the boat, the sunlight illuminating the colourful corals, fish and marine life below.

More InfoWe’re committed to giving you the best possible day on the Reef. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef is an amazing experience and ABC Snorkel Charters Port Douglas, strives to provide exciting marine encounters, exploring colourful coral gardens. You don’t have to be a champion swimmer to snorkel, but you do need to be confident in open waters.
If you are a non-swimmer, or aren’t confident in the open ocean, then maybe a larger boat which visits an island or pontoon might be better for you. Please note that older age, and some medical conditions, especially heart disease, increase the risks of snorkelling. See our Frequently Asked Questions for more information regarding snorkelling the Reef.
