On this fun but relaxing afternoon tour you will set sail for the beautiful Low Isles, a group of two islands that lies just 15km North East of Port Douglas.

These little islands offer much more than meets the eye!

Low Isles is comprised of Low Island and the larger Woody Island.

Low Island is home to a small pocket of rainforest that provides a wonderful offshore sanctuary for a range of bird life, as well as a large shallow coral lagoon where a myriad of marine life is just waiting to be discovered.

Coconut palms sway in the breeze above the white sandy beaches making for an idyllic tropical location to explore or just relax in the sun.

If it is your desire to swim with turtles, Low Isles is the perfect place as over 100 sea turtles reside in the surrounding reefs and sea-grass beds of these islands.

The reefs of Low Isles are home to a diverse range of marine life like colourful hard and soft corals, thousands of different species of colourful fish both big and small, graceful rays, harmless yet beautiful reef sharks and much more.

Snorkelling is the perfect way to explore the reef and the sheltered lagoon provides a safe place for swimmers of all experience levels to float around and view the amazing ecosystem below them.

Take a floating noodle to help you stay buoyant or if you’re a more confident swimmer dive down below the surface and see the reef life up close.

If history is your thing, you will love learning about the important maritime and scientific heritage of Low Island and the Great Barrier Reef. 

Participate in a discovery walk with your guide to see the lighthouse and other interesting artefacts, tools and photographs taken at the island by the families who lived here dating back to 1878.

Low Isles is also home to an important weather station recognised the world over, which has been collecting weather data since 1887.
