Description

Head to the meeting point and check in for your guided snorkeling tour on the Gold Coast. Then, board a boat and set out along the Tweed River, keeping an eye out for local marine life including sea birds, dolphins, and more while you travel towards the Cook Island Aquatic Reserve. Known as Joongarra Narrian by the local Minyungbal people, this incredible place provides a sanctuary for turtles as well as a host of other marine life. The shallow waters are ideal for snorkeling and your marine biologist guide will take you to all the best spots to see these amazing creatures. Make use of the equipment provided, including wetsuits, masks, snorkels, and fins as you go in search of turtles, manta and eagle rays, harmless leopard sharks, and a wide variety of fish species. Visit in winter and you may even get the opportunity to spot humpback whales. You must be comfortable swimming in open water. We can supply pool noodles but do not provide flotation jackets for non swimmers.
