Highlights
Enjoy the Great Barrier Reef and Green Island in a truly personal way. Sail to an exclusive Great Barrier Reef site on a 16-metre classical schooner. With a maximum of 25 guests, this is a unique sail, reef and tropical island experience.
Arrive at the exclusive "Pinnacle Reef'' located in a highly protected Marine Park zone. Step straight off the boat into a beautiful coral garden. Here, the "bommies" or coral outcrops come up to just 1 metre under the surface for awesome views when you’re snorkelling.
Opt for an extra dive on board the vessel to enjoy a relaxed conservative dive (10-12 metres depth) with a complimentary guide. If it’s your first time, you will truly have a personal dive experience with one instructor to two divers.
After exploring this private reef site, jump back on board to relax and feast on a large smorgasbord lunch. Step into the tender for a short ride straight to your tropical haven and land right on the beach!
Relax on the beach, take an interpretative trail across the island or visit a crocodile (in captivity) in Marine Land Melanesia. On the sail home, engines do get switched off (wind prevailing) for a real sail experience. Hoist the sails, take the helm or just sit back, relax and take in all that nature offers. Enjoy fruit and cheese platters while you sip your complimentary glass of wine with a choice of assorted cakes to end your day.

Good To Know
Diving: All diving is subject to you having no medical condition (past or present) or taking any medication which may be, contradictory to diving. All divers (certified and introductory) will be required to fill out a diving medical questionnaire on board the vessel. If you are intending to dive on the day and it is very important to you and you are taking any medication or have any past or present medical conditions, please email the provider so that they can further advise if any medical clearance is necessary PRIOR to your date of travel. It is also imperative that you inform us of any health condition or medication truthfully as diving has special health requirements, in part, also due to breathing compressed air. Your safety is our absolute concern. The provider takes your safety and security seriously - you may be asked to provide photo ID and show the contents of your bag.

Suitability of tour: Guests need to be mobile and stable enough to move around a moving vessel and transfer from main vessel into tender/ Glass Bottom Boat and back. Suitable for youth, families and active retirees.
