Lord Howe Island Snorkel Tour: Exploring a World Heritage Underwater Paradise
The Lord Howe Island Snorkel Tour offers an exceptional opportunity to discover the rich marine biodiversity of this World Heritage-listed destination. Guests can choose between a single-site or two-site experience, allowing flexibility based on comfort level and adventure preference. Each option is designed to showcase the island’s clear waters, vibrant coral systems, and abundant marine life in a safe and accessible way.
The single-site tour is ideal for those who prefer a more relaxed experience without SCUBA diving. Snorkelling typically takes place in the sheltered lagoon, where shallow waters of up to 12 metres provide excellent visibility of colourful reef fish and healthy coral formations. This calm environment makes it especially suitable for beginners and those looking for a gentle introduction to the underwater world.
The two-site tour offers a more adventurous experience, taking guests to some of Lord Howe Island’s most dramatic and scenic marine locations. Sites may include areas around Malabar, Mount Lidgbird, Mount Gower, the Admiralty Islands, and sections of the outer reef. Here, snorkelers can encounter larger coral structures, diverse fish species, and occasionally sea turtles, all set against the backdrop of the island’s striking volcanic coastline.
All snorkelling locations are carefully selected on the day based on prevailing weather and water conditions to ensure safety and optimal visibility. Comprehensive safety briefings and ongoing guidance from experienced instructors are provided throughout the tour. In the event of unsuitable conditions, trips are rescheduled to the next available suitable day, ensuring both safety and a consistently high-quality experience for every guest.

Customer Reviews
I have been around the world and Carol was one of the best tour guides I've ever had. Our first stop was Glendalough, where Carol gave us a quick rundown of the history before letting us roam to go see what we each individually wanted to see for 2 hours. 2 hours proved to be the perfect amount of time here. We hiked to upper lake, explored the monastic site, and got lunch at the food truck before returning to the bus with 10 minutes to left before departure. Then we drove through the scenic Wicklow Mountains National Park and made a quick 20-minute stop at the Wicklow Gap. A high-elevation mountain pass with panoramic views. Next was the sheepdog demonstration at "working sheep dogs" in Ballybought. The demonstrator, Mike, showed up right on time and promptly taught us about the history of Irish sheep farming and the use of sheepdogs before doing a thorough herding demonstration with his border collies, Maggie and JoJo. After that, we continued to the last stop of the day: Kilkenny. Similarly to Glendalough, Carol gave us a quick and informative lesson on Kilkenny's history before letting us off the bus right in the heart of the medieval town. I had time to do a self guided tour of Kilkenny Castle, walk some of the ancient city streets, check out shops, see the River Nore, and visit the Cathedral. As stated earlier, Carol was a fantastic tour guide. She was friendly, knowledgeable, had a sense of humor, and would frequently check in on us throughout the drive or as she saw us at each stop. She also made it very easy to remember which bus to get on by leaving a pink hat on the dashboard.
I loved the Cliffs of Moher, Burren, and Galway City tour! It was well organized and stayed on schedule. Nishad was an amazing driver. I felt safe the entire time, and he navigated the difficult roads like a pro! Our guide Mark was kind, very knowledgeable about Ireland, and had the best sense of humor. 🐢 I learned a lot and had fun. I would definitely recommend the tour! -Tara
Absolutely amazing! Aoife was our guide and Salleh our driver - couldn’t imagine a better pair. Aoife was SO fantastic and has a true gift for making history engaging. She was able to tell us about Irish history and seemed to know the story behind ever rock along the way to seemed. They were so fun and kind and gave great recommendations for the tour itself but also for anyone staying in Dublin. The Cliffs of Moher were beautiful and you had plently of time there. Galway did feel a little short on time for exploring but you have more than enough time to shop around the main streets. Absolutely wonderful and would recommend to anyone!
