Frankland Islands Reef Cruise: A Snorkeler's Paradise

Embark on a full-day adventure (7:00 AM - 5:30 PM) to the Frankland Islands, renowned for some of the best Cairns island snorkeling experiences. Explore Normanby Island and its surrounding fringing reefs within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, home to diverse marine life.

Your day includes a guided snorkel tour and an exciting adventure snorkel safari, both led by experienced instructors, including Master Reef Guides, who know the best spots to find turtles, fish, giant clams, and impressive corals. All guests are also welcome to snorkel at their leisure directly from the beach. If you're new to snorkeling, our crew provides comprehensive instruction and flotation devices for easy and enjoyable exploration. All snorkel equipment and sun protection suits are included in the tour price.

Guided Snorkel Tour:

Enjoy safe and fun snorkeling suitable for all ages, right off the beach. Simply step into the crystal-clear waters and be immediately surrounded by colorful tropical fish and a variety of other marine life. Sightings of green or hawksbill sea turtles are common on almost every trip. Keep an eye out for the rare jewel-blue anemone with its resident clownfish near the shore! Our experienced instructors, including Master Reef Guides, will lead the way, pointing out the best marine life.

Adventure Snorkel Safari:

For an even more impressive snorkeling experience, join our boat trip to the western side of Normanby Island for the adventure snorkel safari. Drift snorkel back towards the beach, discovering vibrant coral gardens filled with hard and soft corals, giant clams, and an abundance of colorful fish. Our snorkel guides will accompany you, highlighting the beautiful reefs and ensuring your safety. Experts consider the Frankland Islands' clean, clear waters and remote location to be the best for snorkeling near Cairns.
