Great day out
Very comfortable boat and friendly staff. The pontoon is a great base for snorkelling, lunch and heading to the island.

What you can expect
Immerse yourself in the pristine lagoon at Lady Musgrave Island on the Great Barrier Reef, where you’ll be treated to a day of snorkelling, island tours and relaxation. Set sail aboard the luxurious catamaran Reef Empress and enjoy a delicious morning tea as you make your way to Lady Musgrave HQ. Once you arrive at the eco-certified HQ, spend over four hours exploring the stunning coral cay lagoon below. Snorkel in the crystal-clear waters with complimentary snorkelling equipment or explore with a guided dive (to be purchased on the day). In this underwater world, you can encounter manta rays, reef sharks, stingrays, turtles and hundreds of tropical fish.
If you prefer to stay dry, enjoy a glass-bottom boat tour and a guided island walk to take in the vibrant coral gardens and coastal atmosphere. This eco-pontoon offers platforms for snorkelling and diving, an underwater observatory and a licensed bar for a refreshing break. You’ll savour a tasty buffet lunch featuring fresh local produce with unbeatable views of the reef. There are also warm showers available on board, ensuring you spend your day comfortably exploring the protected island and reef lagoon.

Snorkelling was excellent
Lady Musgrave Island, a unique place worth a visit, the guide was very knowledgeable about the history and bird and plant life. The snorkelling was excellent- I feel the cold so was glad to take my own wetsuit. You could hire one for $15. We saw some whales on the trip there and back. The trip took over 2hrs, so quite a time traveling which explains the long day. The pontoon was set up well, there were quite a few fish that could be seen from the pontoon as well. A great day out, recommend you take warm clothes, the ocean breeze pretty cool, and we encountered rain, so was good to have a spray jacket for the walk around the island. Food was ok (not gourmet). Not the cheapest tour but glad I did it.
