No. First-time snorkellers can join, and the crew provides a briefing, equipment and assistance in the water. However, an average level of swimming ability is required. Flotation devices are available, but guests who cannot swim may not be able to participate in the snorkelling sessions.

The crew selects two fringing-reef locations according to the day’s wind, tide, sea conditions and underwater visibility. This allows the itinerary to use the most suitable available sites, but the exact locations, visibility and marine-life sightings can vary.

Yes. Snorkelling equipment, flotation devices and a sunsuit or wetsuit are included. Prescription masks can also be hired for an additional charge.

The ride is an active part of the experience and can feel lively, bumpy or wet when conditions are choppy. Follow the crew’s instructions and bring a warm layer or light spray jacket, particularly during the cooler months.

It is not suitable for guests with pre-existing back, neck or hip injuries or guests in their third trimester of pregnancy. Suitability during other stages of pregnancy depends on the weather and sea conditions.

Sea conditions vary from day to day. If you normally use motion-sickness medication, take it before departure according to the product directions or advice from your pharmacist or doctor. A high-speed open boat can still feel rough when the wind and swell increase.

No. Morning tea is included, and additional drinks and snacks can be purchased onboard. The boat returns to Hamilton Island at around midday, so you can arrange lunch after the tour.
