Island hopping day tours and overnight tours are available from three very popular locations, Whitsundays (departing Airlie Beach), Cairns (departing Cairns) and Seventeen-Seventy (departing Sunshine Coast, Brisbane and gold Coast). These include options for ferry style transfers, sailing trips, catamarans and other vessels that take you to the various islands. Snorkelling, eco tours, swimming, great food and entertainment is generally included with a large range of options available to suit everyone's needs!
If you are serious about seeing the Outer Reef, or in particular in scuba diving, you may wish to travel on a larger vessel and spend the full day out on the reef. Outer Reef pontoons in the Whitsunday Island region and Outer Reef day tours or Liveaboard tours from Cairns are very popular for all ages and generally include semi-submarine or glass bottom boat tours as well as snorkelling or diving. You can consider spoiling yourself and adding a heli flight.
So the question is... what are you keen to see and do?
I suggest that getting to the outer reef is a must, especially if you are keen to snorkel and scuba. If you would like to check out the local Islands and you wouldn't mind stepping onto some land throughout the day then the island tours are for you.
