Short on time but keen to visit the Great Barrier Reef? This half-day cruise is the perfect way to explore the beautiful Low Isles. Departing from Port Douglas at 1.15pm, enjoy a scenic 30-minute cruise to the islands, surrounded by a calm reef lagoon.

Spend two and a half hours snorkelling among colourful coral and tropical fish, relaxing on the beach or wandering the island’s sandy tracks. Prefer to stay dry? View the reef aboard a glass-bottom boat and discover the historic lighthouse, weather station and local birdlife.

Refreshing fruit, tea and coffee are served during the afternoon cruise before returning to Port Douglas at 5.15pm. This Low Isles adventure is a wonderful addition to any Port Douglas itinerary.

Best day

Best day! Intimate experience with only 10 guests and 3 Calypso staff members on the entire island/low isles reef. Island is gorgeous, very picturesque and quiet. Snorkelling was fun. The boat was clean and comfortable. Staff members were lovely, friendly and there to ensure we had fun but also safe. Got to swim with baby sharks, turtles and fish!

The cruise was very rushed and expansive for what we received

The cruise was very rushed and expansive for what we received. The tour guides seemed to have limited knowledge of the island, reef and Australia generally. Nice scenery, but disappointed when we arrived to snorkel as the island as it was overrun with tourists.
