Trade the city for a coral cay on this full-day trip from Brisbane to Lady Elliot Island, at the southern end of the Great Barrier Reef. The day begins at Redcliffe Airport, where you board a scenic flight with views over North and South Stradbroke Islands, Moreton Island and Fraser Island. On arrival you are greeted with a welcome drink and an orientation tour of the island, then have about five hours to explore one of the best snorkelling and diving spots of the Southern Great Barrier Reef. A combined glass-bottom boat and guided snorkel tour brings you close to colourful fish and unspoiled coral, with a chance to meet turtles, reef sharks, dolphins and manta rays. Snorkel equipment and wetsuits are provided, and a snorkel lesson in the resort pool is available if you need one. At low tide a guided reef walk may run, depending on the tide. After a morning in the water, enjoy a hot and cold buffet lunch with fresh prawns at the island's Beachfront Dining Room, then join your guide for fish feeding in the Lagoon Fish Pool before the flight back to the mainland. An English-speaking guide looks after you during the day, and day guest facilities with storage, showers and towels make it easy to enjoy the island.
