Explore rich, diverse coral gardens that help form these protective ocean walls, filled with hard and soft corals as well as the reef’s most iconic species such as sharks, stingrays, turtles, whales*, groupers and cods, maori wrasse and parrotfish.
Join us for a snorkelling experience at a secluded island in the morning or afternoon. Arriving at Low Isles approximately 30 minutes after departing The Reef Marina, snorkel in the calm lagoon to explore the reef and its inhabitants without the crowds.
Our comfortable, spacious vessel travels to Low Isles with 23 guests and allows approximately 90 mins to snorkel in the calm lagoon or view the reef from our glass bottom boat. Access to the reef is very easy, either from the back of the vessel or from the beach as the reef hugs close to the island.
Guests can access the island* and explore the sandy paths winding through the vegetation. See first hand the historical Lighthouse, the Lighthouse Keeper's home and the Weather Station where local weather data is collected. Bird life found here is spectacular, with many sea birds breeding and nesting in the vegetation and on the ground.
