Houtman Abrolhos Islands: Scenic Flight & Snorkel Adventure

Soar over the legendary Abrolhos Islands — a UNESCO-listed coral archipelago 60km offshore — then snorkel crystalline waters teeming with marine life. This is Geraldton's single most bucket-list experience, inaccessible any other way in a day.

What to expect

Board a light aircraft at Geraldton Airport for a breathtaking aerial crossing of the Coral Coast before touching down on one of the 122 islands. Snorkel alongside sea lions, vivid coral gardens and the ghost of the 1629 Batavia wreck. A knowledgeable guide narrates the islands' dramatic history throughout. Return flight delivers you back to Geraldton well before all-aboard.

Good to know

Pre-book well in advance — seats are strictly limited. Geraldton Airport is approximately 10 minutes by taxi from the cruise terminal. Confirm exact departure time against your ship's all-aboard and allow 90 minutes buffer. Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel and a hat.
