Calypso Reef Cruises offers certified divers the thrill of exploring the reef in small groups with our professional and experienced PADI dive masters.
Snorkelling from Port Douglas on the Great Barrier Reef is one of the most incredible experiences a person can enjoy. With much of the reef’s colour and marine life visible within a couple of metres of the water’s surface, snorkelling offers all swimmers, regardless of their skill level, the opportunity to see this diverse eco-system up close.
Float effortlessly over rich, colourful coral gardens teeming with life from the cute and playful clownfish to the graceful beauty of the green turtle. Giant clams, stingrays, maori wrasse, cods and colourful parrotfish, are just some of the hundreds of species you will encounter during your visit to Opal Reef with Calypso.
This 21-metre vessel offers comfortable day bed style seating, spacious decks and professionally experienced crew ensuring a unique and personalised Great Barrier Reef experience for every guest.

a month agoWhat a day packed with snorkelling and diving activities in the great barrier reef guided by friendly passionate staff 😀. It was a marvellous day to be out and we were told we were lucky to be taken to the areas they haven't been able to get to due to bad weather conditions. Kelsey from Texas with bubbly personality went over instructions on snorkelling as we approached the first reef. It was my first snorkelling attempt and Steve literally held my hand and took me to the reef from the boat after thoroughly going through what to do and not to do. Floating around with all sorts of fish residents in the reef and the colourful corals was surely priceless memorable experience. After each snorkelling session, cookies and fruits with hot beverages were offered. The lunch included sandwich ingredients as well as salads and antipasto. During lunch, passionate Steve gave a nice educational talk on the reef (formation, history, what colours indicate, etc). I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the colourful corals only to find out healthy corals are supposed to be brown! Walked away with a good reminder what we do as an individual impacts the planet no matter where we live. Alcohol only allowed for purchase after the last snorkelling session on the way back. At the start of the day I thought to myself 'I should have booked a half day tour only... what am I going to do all day out in the water....' By the end of the day, 'OMG the day went by so fast and I want to do this again!!!' $300 well spent. Thanks to the genuinely lovely staff that made the day even more enjoyable 😉

a week agoWe did the boat to outer reef today (5/5/24). The experience was just amazing. The crew was serviceminded, kind, polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. It was a comfortable environment. Every person seemed strategically chosen. The food was abundant and delicious. There were plenty of options for vegetarians, even tho I forgot to tell beforehand. The explanations were clear, instructions on taking care of the reef and ourselves were given clearly and meticulously. The sites for scuba and snorkeling were properly chosen. The boat is comfortable, good toilets, good areas. Overall excellent experience. Highly recommended

a month agoMy sister and I went on the 1/2 day cruise of low Isle today 15th April. The low Isles was beautiful, with a quick tour around and a bit of history. The only downside was it was a very rough trip out and very seasick. (So maybe want to take some tablets prior to departure). Obviously no fault at all to Calypso. All 3 staff today were helpful, friendly, and especially caring during the entirety of the trip. Would definitely do this trip again!

3 weeks agoMy children and I had the best day with Calyso on our outer reef tour today. All of the crew where absolutey amazing. Big thanks to Jess that toke my son on his first dives at the very last minute and Daniella and Cedric that made the day 5 out of 5. So glad we picked you guys for our cruise and making it such a memorable day. You won't be dissapointed if you book with these guys.
