Port Douglas Tours & Attractions
Snorkelling and diving on The Great Barrier Reef
Port Douglas is the best place to enjoy a day snorkelling or diving on the Great Barrier Reef. The warm tropical waters of the Coral Sea, sheltered by the reef, provide the perfect conditions for safe snorkelling for the whole family. With many of the reefs in shallow water and water temperatures as high as 28°C (82°F) the many wonders of the reef can be experienced by everyone. We highly recommend a visit to the outer reef and Poseidon is our preferred reef tour operator.
