Explore an underwater world during your visit to the Outer Great Barrier Reef onboard Reef Goddess, a beautiful custom built snorkel and dive vessel. This Great Barrier Reef snorkel tour is able to travel to&nbsp;offer different dive and snorkel sites to suit varying experience levels and challenges. They know where to go to find heaps of colourful coral that&#39;s perfect to view during a snorkelling session. They also offer a great spot for deeper, more challenging dive sites, which they travel to by tender for advanced dive levels and to further your dive education.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

This day trip departs Mission Beach to the Great Barrier Reef and travels to a minimum of two separate outer Barrier Reef sites. The sites are chosen on the day to suit the weather and environmental conditions. The vessel, Reef Goddess was designed with your safety and comfort in mind offering spacious deck areas, hot showers, toilets, a sun deck, and a well designed rear deck for entering and exiting the water.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

A professional crew are on hand to ensure your Great Barrier Reef experience is both memorable and educational. During your tour of the Great Barrier Reef, they offer a full BBQ buffet lunch cooked by the ship&rsquo;s Captain with fresh prawns and complimentary tea and coffee. For this tour, you can choose to include one or two Introductory Dives, if you&#39;re interested in learning how to scuba dive for the first time! You&#39;ll be with an experienced PADI Dive Instructor and it includes all equipment and onboard training.

&nbsp;

Sample itinerary:

&nbsp;

8.30am and&nbsp;9.00am:&nbsp;You will begin your adventure to&nbsp;the Great Barrier Reef from Wongaling Beach where you will board Island Spirit from the beach. This fully enclosed custom built passenger transfer vessel was designed specifically for beach landing. Wear your swimmers as you have to walk through water (up to your knees) to board the vessel!&nbsp;Just a quick 10-minute transfer will land you onto beautiful Dunk Island where you will board Reef Goddess.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

9.30am:&nbsp;After introductions and safety briefing from your captain, the tour will depart Brammo Bay at Dunk Island and travel&nbsp;to the East sitting at&nbsp;18 knots reaching the&nbsp;first reef location in under 1.5 hours. It takes some time to travel to the outer reef but it&#39;s well worth it! This is where you&#39;ll get better visibility because of the absence of&nbsp;run-off from nearby islands. The outer reef grows from the ocean floor rather than from the islands, forming coral walls and dramatic drop-offs that creates impressive snorkelling and diving. Outer reef sites are home to more hard coral species and larger fish species than the inner reef.

&nbsp;

11.00am: Upon arrival at the first snorkel spot, you&#39;ll slip into&nbsp;the water and start your Outer Great Barrier Reef experience!&nbsp;Locations are determined on the day to suit weather conditions.&nbsp;You will have an hour to explore this&nbsp;untouched reef&nbsp;with an experienced&nbsp;crew on hand to assist with your gear.&nbsp;A free snorkel briefing will cover what to do and what not to do in the water to ensure your safety and enjoyment at the reef.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

12.00pm:&nbsp;Depart for a 1/2 hour cruise to the second snorkel location and lunch preparation.

&nbsp;

12.30pm:&nbsp;Arrive at our second location where the ship&#39;s captain will cook your BBQ lunch served alongside fresh prawns, salads, and fresh tropical fruit.&nbsp;After your well-earned lunch, you&#39;ll slip into the water for the&nbsp;second snorkel of the day.&nbsp;You&#39;ll get another hour of learning, seeing, and experiencing one of the worlds natural wonders.

&nbsp;

3.00pm:&nbsp;After another hour&nbsp;of snorkelling, your crew will up anchor&nbsp;and travel back to Dunk Island.

&nbsp;

4.30pm:&nbsp;Transfers onboard Island Spirit&nbsp;for a quick trip to mainland Mission Beach.

After two cancellation due to weather conditions, we finally end up with Nancy and her crew. Good service, good food and great snorkeling.

Great snorkeling in the reef

I can't recommend Mission Beach Dive enough! Friendly and helpful crew.
You go to a beautiful part of the reef - saw many fish, different types of coral and giant clams.
Lunch is great and plenty of food.
It is a smaller boat, so you aren't on the reef with hordes of people. Idealic day out!

Great trip to escape the crowds on the reef

It was an epic experience

It was an amazing tour. Would love to go again.

Fantastic experience.
