Snorkelling Adventures for the Whole Family

Dive into an underwater wonderland your family will never forget!

At Moore Reef Pontoon, you’ll snorkel in one of the most vibrant parts of the Great Barrier Reef – just a few steps from the platform and you’re face-to-face with curious clownfish, gentle turtles, and dazzling coral gardens. With calm, shallow waters and all snorkel gear provided (plus lycra suits for comfort), it’s perfect for beginners and younger swimmers alike. Parents can float alongside the kids or relax while they safely explore the reef in a guided environment.

Then, when you reach Fitzroy Island, you’ll have the chance to snorkel right off the beach into crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life. It’s a magical, relaxed setting where kids can continue their coral spotting while you soak up the island vibes and warm tropical sun.

Whether it’s your first time snorkelling or your kids are already little reef rangers, these two stunning locations offer something special for every member of the family. Get ready for wide eyes, happy splashes, and stories that’ll be told for years to come.
