Situated nine miles (15 kilometers) north-east of Port Douglas, Low Isles is a coral cay surrounded by 55 acres of reef in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The sandy beach and clear, calm lagoon waters are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Low Isles is well-known for its population of green turtles, keep an eye on the surface as they regularly pop up for air. Occasionally dugongs can be seen grazing on sea grass and large rays may glide by.

During the cruise, a Marine Biologist will conduct an informative talk on the fish and corals and provide details on the activities available throughout the day. The 30-meter luxury sailing catamaran offers the excitement of big ship sailing combined with the ultimate in comfort. Relax in the luxurious air-conditioned lounge with fully licensed bar, or soak up the sun under the sails on the expansive deck.

On arrival a shuttle will take you from the boat to the island, or you can dive straight in and swim to the beach!

Join an organized snorkel tour led by a marine biologist, or take to the water independently and explore at your leisure. Snorkeling equipment is provided and the friendly crew are on hand to assist.You don't have to get wet to enjoy a day at Low Isles.

Excellent experience! Swimming freely with the turtles, fish and even small sharks was awesome! Got picked up from our apartment at Palm Cove and dropped off. Morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea was great! Plenty of beverages to stay hydrated (and even Aloe Vera for any burnt victims like myself) I liked how you had a choice to do anything you wanted and no restricted, I snorkelled for the entire time and was perfect! Great staff, very friendly and helpful if you needed anything they were there for you! Highly recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy the day and they take care of everything and value for money for sure!

Just wonderful service and we saw so much around the island. The group six was quite big but we knew that given the boat size. Lunch was magnificent and that complimentary glass of bubbles at the end was a nice touch. We saw turtles, reef sharks and so many other awesome sea life. Well done guys.
