Low Isles Great Barrier Reef Sailing Cruise from Port Douglas

Port Douglas, Australia

Not a confident swimmer, but want to experience the Great Barrier Reef? At Low Isles you can snorkel straight off the beach, enjoy coral viewing on a glass bottom boat, take a leisurely guided walk around the island or simply relax on the sandy beach. Do as much or as little as you like!

Situated nine miles (15 kilometers) north-east of Port Douglas, Low Isles is a coral cay surrounded by 55 acres of reef. The sandy beach and clear, calm lagoon waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Low Isles is well-known for its population of green turtles, keep an eye on the surface as they regularly pop up for air. Occasionally dugongs can be seen grazing on sea grass and large rays may glide by.

During the cruise to Low Isles, a Marine Biologist will conduct an informative talk on the fish and corals you will see, as well as providing details on the activities available throughout the day. The 30 meter luxury sailing catamaran offers the excitement of big ship sailing combined with the ultimate in comfort. Relax in the luxurious air-conditioned lounge with fully licensed bar, or soak up the sun under the sails on the expansive deck.

On arrival a shuttle will take you from the boat to the island, or you can dive straight in and swim to the beach!

You'll have the opportunity to join an organized snorkel tour led by a marine biologist, or take to the water independently and explore at your leisure. Snorkeling equipment is provided and the friendly crew are on hand to help you get started.

You don't have to get wet to enjoy a day at Low Isles. You can join a glass bottom boat tour over the soft coral gardens that surround Low Isles. Your guide will point out giant clams, a variety of fish and corals, and of course be on the lookout for turtles. On land you may like to join a guided beach walk around the small island. Learn about the flora and fauna of the island along with the history of Low Isles as an important place of marine research.

Sadly we expected a little better. While the staff were all very friendly and very helpful, the whole island and trip was a bit of a let down. I was hoping for a great day out but unfortunately the weather was horrible. The sea was so rough, most passengers were sick on the way out and not much to do on the island other than snorkel.

Really enjoyed the snorkelling and felt that the day was very well run. Would have liked a little more information on our guided snorkel which didn't really seem to happen. Otherwise very good.

Poorish weather, but it didn't matter, wonderful food, great staff, good gear to borrow, and the most picture postcard perfect island in the world, and we saw some turtles! Enjoyed by all, even the non-swimmers in the group.

Fantastic.

Review by: Amy C, United Kingdom March 2008
This was a really good trip, especially if you're wanting to see some turtles! The one downside is that it only involves the one location, so if you're wanting to see a lot of the reef, it might be better to book an outer reef trip.

Fantastic, especially scuba diving.

Review by: Steven H, United Kingdom September 2007
Pity about the weather, as it was rather windy. The diving and glass-bottom boat were great, and the lunch was superb. All the crew on the boat were very very friendly and helpful. I would definitely do this again.

This place is just like the pictures you see on postcards with bright sand and colorful fish and reefs. The snorkeling is great, saw a few turtles and thousands of fish, and it's nice to be able to swim back to the beach to relax for a while before getting back in the water. The Catamaran is fantastic and you should sit outside for the cruise out and back if the weather is good.
