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.
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.

5.00The crew is very kind and knowledgeable. The sights are beautiful. We had a perfect weather day during wet season. We all had a great time.

5.00The crew on board the Poseiden were fantastic and there at every step to make sure our day on the reef was spectacular. I can't recommend this highly enough to anyone visiting Port Douglas. The two sites we visited on the reef were rich in coral and different species of fish. We also learned a lot about the area of the reef and were provided with a nice lunch after we were done with snorkelling. It had been a number of years since both my husband and I had snorkelled but the crew had good tips and equipment to help us and others in our group feel safe and confident on the water. Thank you to the Poseiden team!!
Top class

5.00Wow! What a superb experience. And Lucy (ocean ecologist) she was absolutely incredible. The crew in general was great: good vibes, high alert, helpful, professional and motivated. Loved all the details, we were safe, informed, catering was really nice (did not expect so much food😆). 100% recommended.
Brilliant day out with Gordon!

5.00Booked on to do one certified dive but ended up doing all 3! Felt a bit nervous as hadn’t done a dive in a while but Gordon was super friendly and guided me through! Definitely up there with one of the best experiences I have done! Would recommend!
Wonderful Experience Combining Fun and Safety

5.00Had a wonderful experience on board Poseidon for introductory diving and snorkeling on the outer reef. The entire crew were very profession and created a perfect blend of fun and safety. Was so impressed the first day that I went back for a second day with a friend. Special thanks to Moni and Joe who taught me how to dive and made me feel safe (even after making dumb mistakes). Because I felt safe I had an incredibly enjoyable experience and now seem to be addicted to diving. It will be my new hobby (as a 66 year old beginner)!! I fully recommend the Poseidon cruise for your Great Barrier Reef adventure.

4.00As I awaited the gruelling boat journey out to sea on a cramped timber seat. After I had got up early! I remember feeling rather forlorn, like another old reef adventure, is about to begin. But Poseidon must have been watching over us! Pretty soon I heard people cheering whilst snorkelling, sharing stories with strangers on board about what they saw and taking under water photos, and chatting excitedly. I soon realised this was no ordinary reef tour! I was not disappointed because once I got use to the idea of being in a wet lycra sting suit and getting acquainted with my fins and snorkel at three separate sites! Each rather unique and beautiful display was perfick and beautiful. The team on board Poseidon were work health and safety experts keeping us informed throughout the day. Alicia asks, ‘are you ok?’ ‘If I swim to you and ask if your ok - just do this unicorn sign above your head and I know your ok’, ‘who wants to come on a tour with me, by a marine biologist hands up’ ‘just be careful of that side of the boat where the current is stronger there’ ‘try swimming over there if you want to see…’, ‘this fish is a…’ ‘Just like the aboriginal word..’ ‘this is how coral gets its colour’! ‘If you need help with your equipment just ask me’ and ‘this is how coral reefs are made’’it looks like we have come across a…’, ‘these are the cucumbers who make our sand white without them..’ And ‘Finding Nemo’ by Walt Disney - definitely a good film is truly alive on this tour! And out there (on the Great Barrier Reef) - anything is possible. All members on board were pleasantly surprised by the chosen sites. The only thing I got worried about was a small fishing boat visiting the area we were about to anchor - I got the impression they were pushing boundaries. There is so much to see! The team of attentive young people who put people’s safety first, are impressive. Alicia reminds me of the late Jane Goodall, but totally immersed in the marine biologist space, so listen carefully, and get out there people!
Amazing day out

5.00Thank you amazing crew at Poseidon. Fun, light, helpful, informative and professional. We felt incredibly welcome and looked after. Food was delicious and sites calm even though seas were rough. Special thanks to Gordon for his calmness and kindness, making me comfortable after too long a break in diving. Much recommended!!
Unforgettable snorkeling!...

5.00Unforgettable snorkeling! The Poseidon was the perfect sized boat tour (~50 people) to where we felt we could enjoy the great barrier reef without bumping snorkels. They had a marine biologist onboard who did little lessons and took you fish counting! The reef is absolutely stunning and you will see it up VERY close. Nothing compares to this color and expansive coral and fish species (along with turtles, reef sharks, etc). The staff was extremely helpful and kind and the meal was good.
