Join us for a snorkelling experience at a secluded island at the best times of day….early morning and afternoon. Arriving at Low Isles after a 30 minute journey, guests will explore the coral reef and its inhabitants without the crowds.
You get 2.5 hours to snorkel and explore this picturesque coral cay, a similar amount of time as some full day tours have at the island. Snorkel in the calm lagoon or view the reef from our glass bottom boat, Calypso’s crew will provide tours for guests to learn and appreciate the incredible Great Barrier Reef. Access to the reef is very easy, either from the back of the vessel or from the beach as the reef hugs close to the island.
Low Isles is a smaller area with roughly 55 acres of coral reef surrounding a picturesque coral cay and a mangrove island. Separated from the main reef system by the shipping channel, Low Isles is home to many giant green sea turtles, beautiful coral gardens and ample marine life.
Seasonal Rates:
On our two departures daily*, guests can access the island** and explore the sandy paths winding through the vegetation. See first hand the historical Lighthouse, the Lighthouse Keeper’s home and the Weather Station where local weather data is collected. Bird life found here is spectacular, with many sea birds breeding and nesting in the vegetation and on the ground.
This tour is perfect for visitors who have limited time and want to explore the picturesque Low Isles on the Great Barrier Reef.
Please note: *During the off season these tours may be reduced to one departure per day.
**Due to some weather conditions, it may not be possible to access the island. Please contact us for more information.
Your voucher(s) and booking information will be included in the confirmation email you will receive shortly after purchasing the experience on Amazed.com.
If the booking needs to be first confirmed by the host, you will receive your Amazed voucher within 24-48 hours of purchase.

a week 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 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!

in the last weekMy 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.

7 months agoFantastic, fantastic, fantastic, this is the best trip by far. Very friendly professional crew, great boat with all the gear, and hot showers! So glad we did the whole day outer reef trip, was well worth it. I would highly recommend this company! Thanks for a trip off a lifetime Calypso!

6 months agoMy wife, 23-year-old daughter and I had a fantastic time in a Calypso scuba/snorkel cruise. We all did introductory dives as none of us is licensed. Our instructor, Pam from Argentina, was the best. She patiently explained then modeled the skills required to do the dive. Then we put on our gear (Pam made sure everything fit correctly). Next, slowly we entered the water. Then Pan had each of use demonstrate that we could do the 3 required skills. She explained & modeled again when necessary. After we all 3 did it, we started descending slowly. The challenge is mostly mental: relax & breathe slowly. Below the surface we saw beautiful coral and sea life. The colors of fish. The schools of fish. The crabs. One last word. I am nearsighted. When I snorkeled 30 years ago I saw nothing but blurs. Calypso has prescription lenses (at no extra cost) and I saw clearly. It was a miracle. We’ll done Calypso and Pam! Thank you.
