DESCRIPTION
Snorkel Tours operate daily Dec – Apr
Experience the magic of Julian Rocks “Nguthungulli” Nature Reserve – a fascinating underwater ecosystem located just off the coast of Byron Bay. Take it all in during the only premier guided snorkel tour with a Marine Biologist as your guide!
This rocky outcrop is rated as one of the best dive sites in Australia. This incredible site offers protected, safe and shallow waters, perfect for snorkelling and freediving. Sitting off the most easterly point of Australia, Julian Rocks is a convergence point of warm tropical and cooler temperate waters, making it a marine wildlife hotspot! Whales, Dolphins, Manta Rays, Leopard Sharks, Eagle Rays, Grey Nurse Sharks and Turtles are all common visitors. It’s a perfect environment for snorkelling and freediving with prolific fish life and multiple areas to explore.
Enjoy the sights of the Byron coastline aboard our comfortable and spacious purpose built vessel “Into The Blue”. We often encounter local dolphins and other marine life on the way to Julian Rocks!
High quality snorkel, mask, fins and wetsuits provided.
