Hayman Island - Snorkel Tour

On this bespoke inner reef guided snorkel tour you will find an abundance of tropical fish species, colourful coral reefs, a variety of sea stars, sea cucumbers & urchins, giant clams and turtles to keep you amused for hours.

If seeing the Great Barrier Reef is on your to-do-list, join us for a short journey to the reef and experience the beauty of this region.

Hayman Island is ideally situated only minutes from some of the most amazing fringing reefs, lavishing with fish, coral, turtles and other marine life. This gives Hayman Island guests the unique advantage of less travel time and more time in the water. You might be lucky enough to spot a manta ray or eagle ray too! In the months of July to September, the majestic humpback whales migrate to the warmer climate of the Whitsundays, and are often spots during your boat trip.

The Whitsunday’s offer easy access to some of the best coral reefs the Great Barrier Reef has to offer and delivers a stunning, colourful, underwater world of coral and marine-life unlike any other. With ideal water temperatures all year round you and with a huge biodiversity of species and habitats that make it one of the most complex natural systems on Earth.

The Great Barrier Reef is home to more than 1,500 species of fish, 411 types of hard coral, one-third of the world's soft corals, 134 species of sharks and rays, six of the world's seven species of threatened marine turtles, and more than 30 species of marine mammals, including the vulnerable dugong.
