Itinerary

  • Poseidon Outer Reef Cruises

    Cruising from Port Douglas aboard the modern high speed dive and snorkel catamaran  Poseidon, you’ll have more time to spend at three fabulous snorkeling and diving sites on Agincourt Reef’s outer limits. Renowned for its coral and marine life, the reef is known for being the best diving and snorkeling day trip destination from Port Douglas. This cruise suits experienced divers and beginners alike, whether you’re a certified diver or you just want to go snorkeling. If you’re a diver, you can take up to three dives into the Great Barrier Reef’s coral gardens. You have your choice of diving from the mooring site, doing a drift drive back to the vessel or taking an excursion to less easily accessed sites depending on the conditions of the day.

    8 hours

  • Great Barrier Reef

    If you’d prefer to stay on top of the water, go snorkeling in sheltered lagoons with breathtaking drop-offs. Learn about the Great Barrier Reef’s fragile ecosystem during a reef interpretation talk, and then take a guided snorkel tour for an informed look at the reef’s tropical fish and coral. Poseidon has been specially designed to enhance your snorkeling and diving adventure with a lowering transom for easier access to the water, an air-conditioned saloon and open deck areas for relaxing on the reef. You’ll also have plenty of chances to hydrate and re-fuel with an included morning tea, afternoon tea and buffet lunch with prawns.

Exceptional attention to variable physical abilities

Published on Feb, 2025

The Posideon staff was attentive to my beginning diving ability and made me feel safe and secure in thier care. I had an incredible experience and highly recommend Posideon for a comfortable and memorable day in the coral sea!

A must do while In Port Douglas

Awesome day out, all the staff were so friendly. Did 3 certified dives and our Dive Master Gordon was awesome. He made us all laugh and just made it such a fun day

Reef speaks for itself; what sets them apart is their people with their passion and personality!

Epic experience from start to finish! Lauren was lovely when we checked in; my discount code was applied so she added a refund without fuss. Captain Jayson set the tone from before we boarded with a lovely persona! Photographer Queenie was a delight even helping me with advice for a future trip to the Maldives! Eliza was such a lovely f&b host; food was incredible and so generous! Gordon is the star of the show; authentically himself and so real! Loved his passion for the reef. Kevin was so kind and helpful; did a lovely guided tour as well. It’s so hard to put into words how special the day was… The reef and marine life speaks for itself - what sets this company apart is its people and access to 30+ sites (others only go to 1 or 2 sites). We loved we could explore 3 different sites in 1 day! We also had an educational talk from a marine biologist about coral bleaching which was fascinating!

Excellent dives on great barrier reef!

Went diving. Had a really good day though they could have been a little better with buddy checks. Staff was really friendly and helpful. Good energy!
