The Great Barrier Reef
No trip to tropical Queensland would be complete without a snorkel or dive trip on the Great Barrier Reef.
TURTLE COVE BEACH RESORT recommends CALYPSO Dive and Snorkel, a gay-friendly operator in Port Douglas, for full day dive and snorkel trips. We send our guests out on regular days for extra fun, but these trips do run 7 days a week.
If you feel like something more intimate, Synergy II is a luxurious sailing vessel accommodating a maximum of 12 guests daily.
We can also recommend other operators, and will happily assist in arranging your tours for you to ensure your tropical vacation is as enjoyable as possible!. Check out our packages for those including Great Barrier Reef trips.
