Amazing day on the water
Well-run trip with plenty of time in the water. A couple of people got seasick but the crew handled it well. Coral gardens were spectacular.

Underwater wonderland
Nemo, turtles, rays and coral as far as you can see. The crew were passionate about protecting the reef and it really showed. Unforgettable.

The reef is out of this world
Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef was a dream come true — turtles, reef sharks and coral in every colour imaginable. The crew found us the best spots.

Beautiful reef, busy pontoon
The reef was gorgeous and the visibility perfect. Got a touch crowded at the pontoon but easy to swim off to quieter spots. Loved it.

Bucket-list ticked
Swimming over the coral with turtles gliding past is something else. Great safety briefing and heaps of time to explore. Highly recommend.

Worth every cent
The outer reef is so much better than the closer spots. Warm water, tons of fish and a super friendly crew. Snorkel and the glass-bottom boat were both great.

About Julian Rocks Snorkel Tour
Operated by Wild Byron · 2 Hours · Brunswick Heads, NSW
Set out from Brunswick Heads and cruise the Byron coastline to Julian Rocks Marine Sanctuary, one of Australia’s standout snorkelling spots. Known to the local Arakwal people as Nguthungulli, this protected seascape sits off the easternmost point of Australia and brings together warm tropical currents and cooler temperate waters, creating a marine meeting point buzzing with life.
Slip into the clear, shallow water and you’ll find yourself surrounded by colourful reef fish, turtles, and maybe even a manta ray gliding past. In the right season, humpback whales are a regular sight from the boat, and dolphins often show up to escort you along the way. With a comfortable purpose-built vessel, expert local knowledge, and plenty to look at both above and below the surface, this is a brilliant way to experience Byron’s marine world. If you’re keen to snorkel in seriously scenic water, this is the one to book.
Know before you go: - Please provide a valid phone number with country code when booking in case the team needs to contact you about weather or schedule changes. - Check your email confirmation carefully, and have a look in your spam or junk folder if it doesn’t appear straight away. - Tours depart from Brunswick Heads Marina, about 15 minutes from Byron Bay. - Weather and ocean conditions can affect departure times, so keep your phone handy on the day of travel. - Bring swimwear, a towel, sun protection, and a change of clothes so you’re comfortable before and after your snorkel.
