Get aboard the Kangaroo Explorer for a 2 day 1 night snorkel adventure on the Great Barrier Reef

Get aboard the Kangaroo Explorer for a 2 day 1 night snorkel adventure on the Great Barrier Reef!

Whether you are a snorkeler or a diver, staying overnight on the Great Barrier Reef is certainly a unique and unforgettable experience

You will start your day the right way with an early morning snorkel or dive amongst the most beautiful reef that the world has to offer. Wake to the sound of waves lapping up against the boat and soak up the breathtaking sights of the sun rises and sets along the horizon from the spacious decks of the Kangaroo Explorer.

If diving, the night-time marine life gives the adventurous diver a completely new perspective on the reef.
