Location

If your holiday time is limited and the Great Barrier Reef is high on your checklist of things to see, this tour is for you. This day tour, including return flight to Lady Elliot Island, offers the only way to see the "true" Great Barrier Reef in a single day. Departing early in the morning, you'll visit Lady Elliot; a true coral cay island located at the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. The island is regarded as one of the best diving and snorkelling locations on the reef and is famous for its unspoilt coral reef and amazing array of spectacular marine life. With exceptionally clear water year round, visitors will discover a diverse range of coral and colourful fish, and they might even encounter turtles, manta rays, dolphins and more.

As soon as you step off the plane you'll be greeted with spectacular sights from the lush greenery on the cay to the vibrant waters and coral surrounding it. You can swim and snorkel straight off the beach as the Great Barrier Reef surrounding the cay is considered one of the world's richest marine eco-systems where you can come face-to-face with a range of marine life including turtles, coral and schools of reef fish.

Step right off the plane and onto the beach to snorkel or swim swim with an array of sealife. Lady Elliot Island is known as the 'home of the manta ray'. Known as the 'kites of the reef' these giant creatures are known to breed and feed in the area at various times throughout the year (with peak season being May - Oct) providing guests with the chance to swim amongst them. Hosted by trained guides, you will spend the day snorkelling and fish feeding, exploring the reef on a glass bottom boat ride, reef and island walks, and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch. You can see all of this in one day from the Gold Coast and be able to tell your friends you snorkelled on the Great Barrier Reef!
