If you have several days with us we recommend you book your tours once you are here, that way we are able to look at the weather forecast for the best day if you are going to visit the amazing Great Barrier Reef. The other trips and tours are less weather dependent. There are a huge selection of tours available to book so please ask us for advice, we have done almost all the tours ourselves and we are able to recommend the ones that best suit your requirements and expectations. If you have only a day or two and would like a specific tour we would suggest booking it in advance to avoid disappointment as some tours do book out during the busy season.
