Frequently Asked Questions

Low Isles is a smaller area with roughly 55 acres of coral reef surrounding a picturesque coral cay and a mangrove island. Separated from the main reef system by the shipping channel, Low Isles is home to many giant green sea turtles, beautiful coral gardens, and ample marine life.

The Great Barrier Reef contains thousands of different species of marine life. We cannot guarantee what marine life you will see on your day of travel, however, there will be many different species of fish, coral, and mollusks. Giant green sea turtles are found around the Great Barrier Reef and are frequently sighted at Low Isles. Reef sharks are quite common and a wonderful sight to see.

Please bring swimmers, towel, sunscreen, hat, sunglasses, and credit card (VISA, MasterCard or EFTPOS, sorry no cash) for any onboard purchases. Towels are not provided.

Rain doesn’t affect the day-to-day operations of the Great Barrier Reef. The tour will not cancel due to rain as it does not affect the quality of the reef.

Stingers are a generalised term for jellyfish. During the summer months (November through to May), marine stingers, Irukandjis, and box jellyfish are present in the waters off the coast of Tropical North Queensland. All vessels are equipped with lycra suits (free of charge) during these summer months. As well as a precaution, lycra suits have other benefits such as sun protection and also reducing the amount of sunscreen in the water.

Yes, you can travel to the Low Isles. There is plenty to do such as Glass Bottom Boat or walks to Lighthouse if you wish to stay dry and relax. Snorkelling is low impact and a nonstrenuous activity great for pregnant women. Flotation devices are perfect for extra buoyancy and gentle kicking will provide enough propulsion for you to get around and explore the reef.
