Half-Day Low Isles Snorkelling Tour from Port Douglas
1 to 4 hours
Overview
This half-day trip to Low Isles is a shorter reef option from Port Douglas if you want time on the water without committing to a full-day tour. You’ll get access to the island lagoon, where the sheltered conditions make it a more approachable choice for snorkellers, non-swimmers and anyone who prefers calmer water. Snorkelling gear is included, and if you’re not keen to get in the water, there’s also a glass bottom boat option.
Why backpackers love it
It suits travellers who want a reef trip that is shorter, simpler and a bit less full-on than a big day tour. The small group size means fewer crowds, and the sheltered lagoon makes it a solid option if you’re not a super confident swimmer. It’s also handy if you’re based in Port Douglas and want to fit a reef outing into a tighter itinerary.
What to expect
The tour runs for around 3.5 hours and keeps numbers low, with a maximum of 14 passengers. Once at Low Isles, you can snorkel straight off the beach in the lagoon, spend time relaxing on the island, or go for a walk around it. A lycra suit or wetsuit is provided depending on the season, and all fees and taxes are included. Check-in is strict and must be completed 30 minutes before departure.
