Julian Rocks Snorkel Tour

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.
