1 HOUR CORAL VIEWING TOUR

Perfect for nature enthusiasts or those who prefer a relaxed pace, this tour offers an hour of reef exploration without getting wet. Cruise through the Tantabiddi Sanctuary area while our marine biologists share fascinating insights into Ningaloo’s unique ecosystem. With 16 large glass windows, you’ll enjoy uninterrupted views of the coral and marine life, far beyond a traditional glass-bottom boat. Even in less-than-ideal weather, The SubSea Explorer provides a comfortable, dry, and informative tour of Ningaloo’s incredible reef sanctuary.

2 HOURS SNORKELLING + CORAL VIEWING

Ideal for young families, this tour combines coral viewing with a snorkelling session at one of our favourite sites in the Tantabiddi Sanctuary. We begin with coral viewing and a commentary from our onboard marine biologist. After that, guests interested in snorkelling can get in the water. Once everyone has finished snorkelling, we continue exploring the reef, viewing ancient coral structures. We often encounter sharks, turtles, rays, and with a bit of luck, our local Queensland grouper may make an appearance.

3 HOURS HALF DAY SNORKELLING + CORAL VIEWING

Our half-day tours are always a hit! Perfect for guests who want more time in the water. This tour includes two snorkelling sites, coral viewing and expert commentary. Weather permitting, we offer a ‘drift’ snorkel. We reduce the guest numbers on our Half Day Tours to create a more intimate experience with plenty of space to enjoy. With more time, there’s also a greater chance for more marine animal encounters. At the conclusion of the tour, guests can relax and enjoy a light refreshment on the top deck while we cruise slowly back to the jetty.

1 HOUR CORAL VIEWING TOUR

SubSea Explorer allows guests walk on – walk off the boat from the Tantabiddi jetty, you won’t need to get your feet wet! Once we have departed from the jetty and all guests are seated comfortably downstairs, crew members will beginning an informative and engaging reef commentary. It takes approximately 5-10 mins to reach the coral gardens of the Tantabiddi Sanctuary area. A crew member will be with you throughout your tour and welcome any questions you may have regarding the Ningaloo. Enjoy a tour below sea level.

2 HOURS SNORKELLING AND CORAL VIEWING

Like our 1 hour tour, SubSea Explorer allows guests to walk on and walk off from the Tantabiddi jetty. Once we depart from the jetty we begin with a reef commentary and explore the coral gardens on the way to our snorkel site. We provide snorkelling equipment and guests will have the opportunity to snorkel for approximately 45 mins – 1 hour. Our favourite snorkel site is located within the Tantabiddi Sanctuary area. When everyone is back onboard, we use the remaining time to show guests our favourite boomies and time permitting, search for larger marine animals, like turtles and sharks, before returning to the jetty. Welcome to your underwater aquarium.

HALF DAY TOURS

Designed for smaller groups. Our Half Day Tour includes two snorkelling sites, coral viewing with reef commentary from our lower deck by our knowledgeable crew and a light refreshment at the conclusion of the tour. This tour is ideal for guests that have a little more time on their side. SubSea Explorer has a lower and upper deck, with a little more time and space you will be able to enjoy the boat to its full capacity. Children are able to enjoy a snack below sea level!

VIP TOUR (SNORKEL + CORAL VIEWING + BUS TRANSFER)
