Michaelmas Cay
Snorkeling in Michaelmas Cay
This guided tour starts on the beautiful beach of Michaelmas Cay. Guest are transported there in our glass bottom boat. Be sure to look down and see the fish! Our talented staff will separate you into smaller groups, each with its own guide and you can start exploring the underwater world and the Cay.
Once the group has arrived at the beach, time is provided to familiarize guests with the equipment. You have time to fit your mask, snorkel, and the buoyancy vest. This will help you become comfortable with the equipment before the guide starts the tour. Each tour is measured individually based on the guests’ comfort. The guide will stay in shallow waters at first, then start to move farther from the beach based on the groups comfort. When the group is able to reach the deeper waters, they will see mesmerizing marine life and colourful corals flourish.
After the guided tour there will be extra time allotted to explore Michaelmas Cay on your own. Snorkeling and exploring the Great Barrier Reef openly.
