Visit Lady Musgrave Island in the Southern Great Barrier Reef on this boat trip from Burnett Heads. Enjoy drinks, lunch, access to warm showers, a glass-bottom boat tour, and more. Snorkel in the unique coral lagoon surrounding the island and enjoy a guided island walk.

Taking off from Bundaberg Port Marina, enjoy morning tea as you head to Lady Musgrave HQ, a new advanced eco-certified pontoon with snorkel and dive platforms, an underwater observatory, and a licensed bar.

As you explore the coral reef lagoon, get plenty of opportunities to encounter manta rays, reef sharks, stingrays, turtles, and hundreds of tropical fish swimming in these coral gardens.

Hop in the water to swim or take advantage of the included snorkeling equipment. As an added perk, non-certified introductory dives and certified dives are available for purchase if you wish to dive deeper into the coral reef.

Non-swimmers will love the three-level pontoon, glass-bottom boat tour, and guided island walk to experience the coral reef and marine life all without getting wet.

After working up an appetite, a buffet lunch is available on board at your leisure, and you can freshen up with a warm shower after your snorkel and dive. On the boat ride back to the marina, enjoy another cup of afternoon tea.

A bucket list activity! Everything was extremely well organized and was ran super well. The staff were all lovely and we absolutely loved our experience of snorkeling and hearing about all the different marine life. Would highly recommend this activity! The lunch was also really good. The boat itself was immaculate and all the amenities were excellent.

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that your experience ticked a bucket list box and it was such a memorable day. We'll be sure to pass on your kind words to our crew, they’ll be stoked to hear it! We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again soon.

The staff were amazing, really friendly and helpful. The lunch was delicious and we had a snack on the way to the Island and another on the way back which was really nice. The island tour was really good and informative, we definitely learnt a thing or two. The snorkelling was good too, with good equipment and help if you needed it. plus the guides were also happy to get in the water with you if you were on your own. Only downside was there wasn't a drink available with the lunch. You had to buy one or fill up your water bottle. But overall, a brilliant day.

Wonderful day, everything was done to give customers the best possible experience, whilst being extremely protective of the natural environment. The staff were extremely knowledgable and helpful. A medical emergency was attended to very efficiently which thankfully resulted in a positive outcome. I would definitely this trip.

This was a GREAT tour for the great barrier reef if you don't want to go all the way up north. It was beautiful, the reef was amazing and the tour company was professional and kind. We had a great day!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review, and it's so great to hear you enjoyed your day. The Southern end of the Great Barrier Reef is easy access from South East Queensland - we're very lucky to have such an incredible back yard!

I highly recommend it. Such a bloody amazing spot, can’t even put it into words or capture it in pictures properly. Plus, the staff are super friendly and attentive, makes the whole experience even better!
