Guided snorkel tours and reef talks, usually with a crew member in the water.
Scheduled trips capped at 58 guests on a boat built for 100.
Check-in at 8am at the Crystalbrook Superyacht Marina, back in Port Douglas at around 4.30pm.
Prices from $329 per person.

Two 20-metre catamarans are available: Wavelength 4 for up to 57 and Wavelength 6 for up to 60.
Charter groups can choose their reef sites and visit islands and cays, within group size limits.
A deli-style lunch is standard on charters, and caterers can prepare other food on request.
The operator has hosted school groups, weddings, film crews and research teams.

Before booking a reef day

This is snorkelling only, so it suits groups who want time in the water rather than diving.
Ask about stinger season and what protective suits are supplied.
Check the operator's wet-weather and sea-condition policy for your date.
For a birthday group, compare a scheduled trip with a private charter for your numbers.
