Outer Great Barrier Reef: Boat Tour from Port Douglas + Activities + Lunch
About this experience
Hop aboard Quicksilver's catamaran and travel 39 nautical miles to the edge of Australia's continental shelf. There's a specialised activity platform waiting for you, right where the reef's ecosystem remains most pure.
If you're here to snorkel or dive, you're in luck. This far out, the clear ocean water helps the ribbon reefs teem with some of the most vibrant coral and sea life you'll see. The activity platform has a licensed bar, underwater observatory, semi-submersibles, showers, and air conditioning.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
