As the sun rises over Port Douglas, prepare to dive into a day filled with underwater exploration on the Calypso Outer Great Barrier Reef Cruise.

Sail & snorkel

You'll board a large catamaran greeted by local guides ready to enrich your journey with their knowledge. After a safety briefing, set sail towards the first dive site at either Opal or Agincourt Reef. Snorkel amidst marine life, followed by morning tea. Before noon, you'll head to the second site, offering a guided snorkel tour and a buffet lunch, featuring a selection of meats, salads, Mediterranean vegetables, bread, and condiments. Post-lunch, sit back for an interpretive talk on the Great Barrier Reef that introduces you to the wonders of this living marvel. The final site of the day offers another chance to snorkel or simply relax on deck soaking in the turquoise waters with afternoon tea.

Diving deep

For those seeking an adrenaline rush, the cruise offers an optional introductory diving experience. Diving groups are small and managed by a PADI Dive Instructor to ensure maximum safety. This add-on lets you explore the reef up close, in all its unique nooks and crannies. And the best part? All gear, including lycra suits, is provided for worry-free snorkeling or diving–or both. The cruise ends as the sun sets, returning you to Port Douglas with memories of a lifetime, and perhaps, stories for an underwater postcard from the reef's very own post office!
