Great Barrier Reef & MOUA: Boat Tour + Snorkeling + Lunch
About this experience
Visit the Great Barrier Reef on a full-day boat tour to John Brewer Reef from Townsville or Magnetic Island.
This trip is suitable for both snorkellers and divers. You can explore the water and see coral, fish, turtles, rays, and other marine life.
The highlight is a visit to the Museum of Underwater Art (MOUA). Swim above underwater sculptures, including the Coral Greenhouse by Jason deCaires Taylor. The artworks are designed to become part of the reef and share messages about ocean conservation.
Snorkellers can view the sculptures from the surface, with crew available to help. Certified and first-time introductory divers can also explore the artwork up close underwater.
During the trip, learn about the Great Barrier Reef, how it is protected, and why this area is important for marine life.

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.
