Description
Set off on an exciting journey to the stunning Outer Great Barrier Reef with Pure Snorkelling, departing directly from Cairns. This half day, small group, snorkel only tour is ideal for guests who want access to outstanding reef locations and an intimate, education focused adventure. Before departure, enjoy a complimentary Marine Life presentation delivered by our knowledgeable marine biologists, an engaging introduction to the fascinating species and ecosystems you’ll soon explore.
Cruise aboard our modern, purpose-built vessel engineered for speed as we take you to an expert selected exclusive reef site chosen for the day’s best conditions. With a maximum of just 40 guests, the experience remains relaxed, personalised, and blissfully uncrowded.
Spend up to two hours in the water, snorkelling in beautiful tropical waters alongside experienced snorkel guides. They support beginners, build confidence, and bring the region’s extraordinary underwater world to life through their knowledge and guidance. With minimal travel time and maximum time in the water, Pure Snorkelling offers an engaging and memorable way to explore this UNESCO World Heritage icon.
Experience the reef as it’s meant to be, pure and alive with natural beauty. Pure Snorkelling is proud to be Advanced Ecotourism Certified, reflecting our belief that reef tourism should leave the ocean better than we found it.
