Luxury catamaran to Low Isles for 3 hours of guided snorkeling, glass-bottom viewing, canapés, and a sunset return to Port Douglas.
“Fabulous afternoon with Sailaway. Friendly attentive staff, plenty of food and drinks. We chose not to snorkel, which was the right decision, as you are quite a long time in the water so need to be very fit. However, we enjoyed the reef through the glass bottom boat and enjoyed the Heritage walk around the island. Very competent, knowledgeable and hard working staff, Jake, Deanna and Chloe. Thank you.”
Full-day Port Douglas cruise to Low Isles on a luxury catamaran, with snorkel, glass-bottom boat, heritage walk, and meals included.
“Had a fantastic trip out to the reef and low isles, my wife and I were on honeymoon and had a smashing time! The crew were fabulous, and it was nice that we only had a small group at the time.”
