    Reef Tax & Fuel Surcharge

    Mandatory reef tax and national park fees for visiting the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park are included in your tour price. A temporary $10 per person fuel surcharge is included in the prices shown while fuel prices remain high, and will be removed once they return to normal.

    A public holiday surcharge also applies: $100 per person on Christmas Day, $50 per person on Boxing Day and $50 per person over the Easter long weekend. Our crew are paid penalty rates on public holidays, and this surcharge is what allows us to run the tour on those days rather than cancel it. Infants are not charged either surcharge, and both are shown in your booking summary before you pay.
