About This Experience
Head out by boat into the warm waters around Maskelyne to search for one of the ocean's most gentle and elusive creatures — the dugong. Your guide will navigate multiple locations until dugongs are found, timing the tour around low tide when sightings are at their best. Between searches, drop into the water to explore dramatic drop-off rock formations and thriving coral reefs, with all snorkelling gear provided. Fresh coconut and banana included to round off the adventure.
