Museum Of Underwater Art & Great Barrier Reef Day Trip

Uncover an underwater realm and embark on a journey to the Great Barrier Reef. Immerse yourself in awe-inspiring exhibitions at the Museum of Underwater Art and marvel at the vibrant Central Section of this natural masterpiece.

To embark upon your journey, commence from either the Townsville Breakwater Marina or Nelly Bay, Magnetic Island. Upon arrival, consult your reservation details for guidance regarding departure arrangements.

Embark on a bespoke voyage aboard a custom-built vessel, navigating through the expansive Central Section of the Great Barrier Reef.

Upon reaching the central section of the reef, proceed to the Museum of Underwater Art (MoUA), situated off the coast on the John Brewer Reef. This unique destination offers a serene environment surrounded by vibrant coral reefs, providing visitors with insights into marine conservation, restoration, and educational initiatives concerning the health of the reef. Highlighted among these efforts is the incorporation of indigenous cultural and historical elements within the museum's exhibits.

Following your exploration of the MoUA, continue your adventure along various sections of the reef, each featuring dives tailored to suit different levels of experience - ranging from depths of 1 to 20 meters, making them ideal for both snorkel enthusiasts and advanced divers alike. Expect encounters with diverse species such as schools of baitfish, vibrant reef fish like parrotfish, maori wrasses, clownfish, angelfish, and even the occasional sighting of turtles, stingrays, white-tip reef sharks, and black-tip reef sharks, some of which may venture close enough for a safe snorkeling experience.

Throughout your expedition, gain valuable knowledge about the management of the Great Barrier Reef and the ongoing efforts to safeguard it. Engage with knowledgeable crew members who will guide you in adopting responsible practices to preserve the reef and its inhabitants for future generations. Post-dive, return to either Nelly Bay or Townsville Breakwater Marina via boat.
