The Great Barrier Reef Tour with Ocean Safari is a half-day tour, typically lasting around 6 hours, including transfers from Cape Tribulation accomodation.
Ocean Safari departs from Turtle Rock Cafe, Cape Tribulation Beach (the main street of Cape Tribulation). This is where you will sign waivers, get snorkelling equipment and leave your important luggage that you do not want to take with you. Pick up is included from Cape Tribulation accomodation.
It depends where from. If travelling from Cairns or Port Douglas, then best way is to rent a car for a few days and drive yourself. The reason for this as there are no public buses that go upto Cape Trib. You could however organise a driver to also take you there, this would work best for bigger groups to split the cost.
The Great Barrier Reef Tour with Ocean Safari goes to two different reef sites at Mackay Reef. One destination is a sand cay, which is a great snorkel spot, but can also relax on the beach when not snorkelling!
