The four hour tour includes supply of wetsuit, mask, snorkel, safety harness and a light breakfast, plus training in swim procedures and snorkelling.

Connection as you taste native, fragrant leaves. A sense of belonging as you return to your favourite holiday house. Freedom as you dash into the waves. Discover the endless feelings a visit to NSW can inspire.
