Calypso Low Isles Cruise from Port Douglas
Low Isles is a small coral cay with a lighthouse, 30 minutes from Port Douglas inside a calm lagoon. Calypso caps the trip at 23 guests, which is a fraction of what the big reef boats carry — it is the quiet alternative to an outer reef day.
Who this suits
Anyone who finds the big reef boats overwhelming, families with younger children, and travellers short on time.
Fares & departures
All prices in AUD. Booked through The Guest Man as a licensed local agent — you pay the operator's published guest fare.
Add door-to-door shuttle — $60 per leg
We run our own private shuttle from Cairns city and the Northern Beaches to the Reef Fleet Terminal, so you are not driving or parking on tour day. Add pickup and return when you book, or see tour day shuttle details.
Common questions

Is the water calm?
Low Isles sits in a sheltered lagoon, so it is generally much calmer than outer reef sites. It is the better choice if seasickness is a concern.
Morning or afternoon?
The afternoon cruise runs 1:15pm to 5:15pm. Morning departures are available — times are confirmed at booking.
What is included?
A guided snorkel tour, glass bottom boat and island walk.
