A snorkeling tour on The Great Barrier Reef off the coast at Cape Tribulation

being closer to the reef than anywhere else in Queensland and you can
be out on the reef in only twenty minutes for a half day snorkeling
tour!
Below is some info, prices and photos to get you enthusiastic about
this fantastic half day reef trip, and a link to book
this tour online
Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef from Cape Tribulation
is likely to be the highlight of your Daintree holiday.
Above you see the Ocean Safari, a high speed 12 metre rigid inflatable
with two V8 700 horsepower motors that carries a maximum of only 25
passengers and they can take you out to the Great Barrier Reef in only
20 minutes for an unforgettable half day of snorkeling.
Out on the Great Barrier Reef Reef you will see thousands
of brightly colored fish, sea turtles, giant clams and even some harmless
small reef sharks.
Dependent on tides and weather conditions the boat will take you to
either Undine Reef or Mackay Reef where you will visit two different
sites with at least two hours spent on the reef.
In Cape Tribulation there is no guaranteed whale sighting
like they have in places such as Hervey Bay where they spend time in
the bay, but the whales have often been seen passing while they travel
up and down the coast, the photos below are taken off the Cape Tribulation
coast.
