    Low Isles Reef Cruise from Palm Cove aboard Luxury Sailing Catam 10 - 11 hours

    Low Isles Reef Cruise from Palm Cove aboard Luxury Sailing Catam

    Situated 9 miles (15 kilometers) north-east of Port Douglas, Low Isles is a 4 acre coral cay surrounded by 55 acres of reef. The two small islands are separate with one common reef. The larger of the two, Woody Island, is uninhabited except for a large bird population. The smaller of the Low Isles is a coral cay with a lighthouse that has been operating since 1878.

    Snorkeling is fun and a brilliant way to view this watery wonderland. All equipment is provided and friendly snorkeling supervisors are on hand to give you a few tips, so all you have to do is enjoy this visual and sensory masterpiece.

    Before departure for Low Isles, a Marine Biologist will conduct an informative talk on the reef and corals to provide you with a better appreciation of the reef. Snorkelers have the opportunity to join organized snorkel expeditions and view the creatures of the reef under the guidance of a Marine Biologist.

    Coral viewing is so easy with a glass bottom boat tour. The coral viewing boat leaves the island regularly and cruises over the delicate soft coral gardens that surround Low Isles. An informative commentary will be conducted to point out the corals, the many brightly colored tropical fish and magnificent giant clams to the passengers. Perhaps this is your chance to meet a turtle!

    A Marine Biologist conducts a guided beach walk, showing interested passengers the unique marine life living at the waters edge. Included in the beach walk is information on the flora and fauna inhabiting the island along with the history of Low Isles as an important place of marine research.
