Itinerary

Exact itineraries vary depending on the tour type. 

Your adventure begins early in the morning at 7:00 am in Bundaberg, where you board our luxurious catamaran Reef Empress. During the relaxed crossing to the island, you can enjoy freshly prepared morning tea and get in the mood for the experience.

After around two and a half hours, we reach the breathtaking Lady Musgrave Island and its protected lagoon – the southern gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. The floating Lady Musgrave HQ Pontoon with its sustainable zero carbon footprint awaits you here. From here, you can set off on an adventure: snorkeling in the crystal-clear water, a look through the underwater observatory or an exciting glass-bottom boat tour. Our guides will accompany you and explain the fascinating underwater world full of turtles, rays, colorful corals and tropical fish.

At lunchtime, you can enjoy a freshly prepared buffet with local specialties – including prawns, cold cuts and crispy salads – before heading out to explore further in the afternoon. Whether it’s a guided walk across Lady Musgrave Island, more snorkeling or simply relaxing on the platform – you can spend the afternoon as you wish.

Finally, an afternoon tea awaits you on the way back while you take in the last glimpses of the beautiful lagoon and untouched nature. We return to Bundaberg at around 17:00 – filled with unforgettable impressions of a day on the southern Great Barrier Reef.

Experience FAQs

Our full-day tours to Lady Musgrave Island and Adventure Outer Reef Diving start with check-in at 7:00 am at Bundaberg Port Marina. The return is planned for around 17:00.

Conditions vary daily. As this is an open ocean crossing, we recommend that all guests take preventative measures against seasickness. The medication Travacalm has proved particularly effective.

Be sure to pack a towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, hat, comfortable shoes or thongs for the island hike and a camera to capture your memories. We also recommend some money for drinks, snacks or souvenirs from the kiosk on board. Certified divers must bring their diving license, and those wishing to do a trial dive should also have cash or card ready. For guests without suitable footwear, we offer thongs (flip-flops) for purchase.

Please bring a refillable water bottle – our chilled, triple-filtered water is available to you throughout the day. Cold soft drinks, juices and alcoholic beverages can also be purchased on board.

Lady Musgrave Island is a highlight all year round – every season has its own special natural spectacles. In winter you can watch the humpback whale migration, while in summer you can see turtles mating, laying eggs and hatching. Snorkeling and diving are possible all year round. Unlike in the tropical north, there is no jellyfish season here (stinger season) – so you can swim safely all year round.
