No previous snorkelling experience is required, but an average level of swimming ability is needed. Flotation devices are available, and the crew can assist less-experienced snorkellers in the water. Guests who are unable to swim may not be able to participate in the snorkelling sessions.

The tour visits two different fringing reef locations, with approximately 45 minutes of snorkelling at each site. The exact locations are selected on the day according to the wind, tides, visibility and sea conditions.

Choose the afternoon departure if you want to keep your morning free for breakfast, the beach or another Hamilton Island activity. It checks in at 12:00pm, departs at 12:30pm and returns at approximately 4:30pm. The morning tour offers the same style of reef experience with an earlier schedule.

The journey is fast, open and exciting, with the boat travelling through the waterways between Hamilton Island and the surrounding Whitsunday reefs. Depending on the conditions, the ride can include bumps and sea spray, so hold on, follow the crew’s instructions and treat the journey as part of the adventure.

This tour is not suitable for guests with pre-existing back, neck or hip injuries. Guests in the third trimester of pregnancy cannot participate, while suitability during earlier stages of pregnancy depends on the conditions. All relevant medical conditions must be declared on the pre-tour waiver.

The fast, open-style boat generally produces less of the slow rocking associated with larger vessels, but conditions can still vary. If you are prone to seasickness, take your usual preventative medication before departure according to its directions.

Lunch is not included. Afternoon tea is provided, and selected drinks and snacks can be purchased onboard. As check-in begins at 12:00pm, it is a good idea to have lunch before arriving.
