Coral Sea Dreaming is a small boat, offshore adventure. Conditions on the Outer Reef can vary, and the experience is best suited for those who can swim, snorkel, dive, or wish to dive. During dives, guests often encounter a wide variety of reef inhabitants, including turtles, rays, nudibranchs, pelagic species, sharks, countless reef fish, and much more.
While sailing is part of the experience, prevailing south-easterly winds mean this usually occurs on the return journey.
