The Experience

Your experience Embark on a stunning glass-bottom boat tour to explore the Great Barrier Reef from two unique perspectives: basking in daylight or discovering the underwater world by night. Getting started Arrive at the Shute Harbour Marine Terminal, where you’ll check in with your ticket and ID. After a brief safety rundown from your guide, step aboard the fully shaded glass-bottom boat, complete with large viewing panels. What to expect Lions Lookout (Day Tour only): Begin your day with a scenic stop at Lions Lookout for panoramic views of Airlie Beach, the Whitsunday Islands, and the sparkling coastline—perfect for photos. Shute Harbour reef flats: Cruise over shallow reef flats that are home to vibrant marine life, including rays, fish, and sea turtles, giving you clear, unobstructed views through the glass bottom. The reef after dark: If you’ve opted for the night tour, the boat’s UV lights will reveal the hidden nocturnal marine life. Watch as tiny bioluminescent creatures, like coral polyps and shrimp, light up the ocean floor. Expert commentary & comfortable ride: Throughout the tour, your knowledgeable guide will share fascinating facts about the reef’s diverse ecosystem, making this a fun and informative outing for all. Whether you join during the day or night, you’ll leave with unforgettable memories of the Great Barrier Reef’s underwater world, seen like never before.
