Cruise the remote waters of the Great Sandy Strait and immerse yourself in nature on this award-winning guided eco-tour. Swim, snorkel and relax on remote islands.

Dive deep into the nature while cruising the bluest shallows and exploring the wildlife and unique beauty that surrounds the Great Sandy Straits on this 3 hr Turtle Discovery Tour.

Begin your eco-tour onboard a 10-meter glass-bottom vessel. Travel through the spectacular waterways of the Great Sandy Marine Park, with Island stops at either Round Island, Big Woody Island, or Pelican banks. View the beautiful coral reefs below through the glass panels. (tides permitting).

Enjoy time spent on the islands where you can swim or snorkel in crystal clear waters, play a game of beach cricket or take the opportunity to relax on the sandy beaches and take in the views. Sneak off to your own private corner of a picture-perfect beach. Walk where the crystal blue water meets the white sand and spinifex grass.

Whilst cruising along, keep a look out for turtles, dolphins, dugongs, sea birds, and possibly a reef shark or dugong.
