Family-friendly: Snorkel and drift through an ancient rainforest

Be marvelled by a river surrounded by an ancient rainforest. Cool off from the hot tropics in the crystal clear water and discover life under the water’s surface, snorkelling. A place where 33 species of fish swim, frogs and tadpoles dart and saw-shelled turtles can be spotted.


As you drift through the waters, keep an eye out for the alluring Azure Kingfisher. And if you’re lucky, you may even see a platypus. It is possible to see electric blue butterflies, water dragons and an assortment of colourful birds too. An ideal way to learn more about Australia’s unique flora and fauna.

This family-friendly tour is the perfect snorkelling introduction before you head out to the coral reef. An amazing eco-immersion adventure that is different every time. Sometimes it’s fast and exciting, other times slow and relaxing! Your local guide, Stu also has a wealth of information to share with you too.
