Snorkelling at the Julian Rocks

Trip Information

Snorkelling tours of the Julian Rocks are available every day. Snorkellers are taken to the most protected and sheltered areas possible, usually the Nursery. Here the depths are shallow (3 to 12m) and you will see just as much marine life as the divers. Have a look at the photo gallery to get a good idea of what to expect. All snorkellers are carefully supervised and the boat is only ever a short swim away. This is a great introduction to the marine life in the area.

The boat trip itself is also lots of fun. We regularly see dolphins and whales when in season. From June to August humpback whales travel up the east coast of Australia. From September they travel back down the coast with their newly born calves. As Cape Byron is the most easterly point in Australia, it's a great spot to do a little whale watching. When time and ocean conditions permit we include a little sightseeing of the Cape and coastline. It's a great view of the lighthouse from the water.
