Great Barrier Reef Day Trip

Overview

The day begins with a courtesy pickup from your Gold Coast hotel at approximately 6.00am. We take to the air for a 90 minute scenic coastal flight to Lady Elliot Island, a true coral cay on the southern Great Barrier Reef.

At Lady Elliot Island you can step right off the beach and snorkel or swim in the world's richest marine eco-system.

Come face to face with turtles, colourful coral and schools of reef fish. The coral gardens surrounding the island are also a breeding and feeding area for the giant "kites of the reef" - manta rays. Many of our past guests have been fortunate to swim with these amazing creatures.

Hosted by our trained guides, you will spend the day snorkeling and fish feeding, exploring the reef on a glass bottom boat ride, reef and island walks, and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch.

Our day trip returns from Lady Ellliot at 2.15pm, arriving back at your hotel at approximately 5.30pm.
