Snorkelling is the easiest and most accessible way to explore the vibrant, diverse underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. All necessary equipment is provided, and our friendly, experienced crew will assist you in using it.

The Great Barrier Reef is home to an array of marine life, from vibrant tropical fish and stunning coral formations to turtles and the occasional clownfish (nemos).

Expérience excellente

Excellente expérience. La communication pourrait être améliorée sur le temps passé sur chaque endroit. Aidant et soucieux du bien-être des clients notamment par rapport au mal de mer.

Belle expérience !

Nous avons pu bien profiter de la barrière de corail. Il est indiqué que nous serions 5h dans l’eau mais c’est plutôt 3h30, ce qui est déjà très bien ! Le snorkeling est plus joli que la plongée. Comme il y a beaucoup de baptêmes en même temps, on est un peu infantilisés, il faut bien tenir le moniteur au bras tout du long (j’en suis à mon 7eme baptême ça n’était plus nécessaire). Le briefing n’est pas le même entre le snorkeling et la plongée. En plongée on nous a prévenu qu’il pouvait y avoir des requins, pas en snorkeling. Pourtant, certains en ont vu en snorkeling justement. En tout cas, les équipes sont pros et bien rodées pour avoir pas mal de monde sur le bateau ! On est rentrés plus tôt que prévu mais c’était quand même bien cool, les coraux sont magnifiques !
