We went on this tour as part of our stay in Port Douglas The experience was excellent with every single member of the team really looking after us The trip starts with a light lunch and soft drink and then you sail to the low isles. The owner had joined our trip as he wanted to test his new electric boat which was a really impressive piece of equipment and he was really interesting and helpful on the trip. Once at the low isles we went snorkelling with all the equipment provided by Sailaway. We then went on a tour of the island itself. The light house etc all hosted by a volunteer ranger Lily. After snorkling we then had some more food and a few beers as we sailed back under sunset to the dock. Everything was managed really well by the crew and Liz the deck hand doesn’t stop working the entire time! They take you snorkling in 2 groups depending on experience and confidence and each group has a guide. You can also stay on the glass bottom boat if you don’t wish to snorkle. There’s lots of this type of trip available in port Douglas but I would 100% recommend using this company, you really get looked after at all stages.

We were most fortunate to have a perfect day and only eight of us onboard as it gave our crew, Sean and Liz, the opportunity to interact with each of us and give us individual attention as needed. The snorkeling was as enjoyable as promised, thanks to Liz’s commentary and support. My wife had decided against snorkeling but was encouraged by our Captain, Sean, to suit up, after which he joined her in the water and pointed out things in the GBR to view through her mask. We would not recommend the glass bottom boat (just a narrow viewing area) as an alteration snorkeling.

We had a wonderful trip. Even though we were a little afraid, we went snorkeling and did not regret it - a fantastic experience. The Low Isles was worth seeng. The staff was very friendly and helpful.
