Just 6 snorkelers per instructor | marine expert snorkel guide. This definitely makes us the snorkelers best choice for a totally uncrowded unique day on the outer reef! Our small unique operation in Port Douglas is the most personal day boat visiting the outer reef taking a maximum of just 12 passengers on board per trip, ensuring you’ll enjoy a very exclusive day. Our trip can take us to several outer reef locations where our very special Great Barrier Reef marine park permit allows us to roam the reefs freely and be away from other tourists and crowded reef locations. Because we have the ability to be able to roam all the reefs off Port Douglas it means we can frequently change our snorkel locations. Ensuring the wildlife acts naturally and does not begin shying from busy reef spots, so the surprise “big ticket” sightings are frequent and amazing! Our team are in the water with you. We ensure you don’t miss a thing on your Great Barrier Reef day tour. ABC are 100% locally owned and operated family business – proudly Australian. We strive to provide the very best Port Douglas Reef trips. Amazing locations. Personalised service. Max 12 Guests.

Fabulous experience! The small group of 12 with two marine biologist couldn’t have been better. We were given a 15 to 20 minute lecture on the different marine life in the reef before arriving at the reef. While snorkeling, the biologists pointed out structures and wildlife on the reef in great detail. The staff works extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The food was good and fresh. Highly recommend can’t wait to return.

It is personalized and fantastic. The boat trip is further than expected but gets you to the most awesome reef

No other experience guarantees a snorkel group of <12 which is already worth the money, but to have two marine biologists with you makes the experience exceptional! It was a real treat to share in their knowledge and experience both on the boat and in the water! Food was good and having access to a toilet was nice. Despite a clear sunny day, waves were very rough. Do not skip taking sea sickness pills (they sell some on the boat prior to leaving if needed).

Just beyond the coast of Port Douglas, Queensland Australia is an amazing Sea Life. Zoe, Will and Captain Jason were the perfect guides for our snorkeling adventure among the corral and fish. Such a perfect trip with amazing guides filled with detailed tidbits about the reef and its wildlife.
