Eye to Eye Marine Encounters, Port Douglas. Tours

Want to swim eye to eye with a minke whale? Dive among schooling sharks at Osprey Reef? Or explore the pristine waters around Raine Island (the largest green turtle rookery in the world)? Eye to Eye Marine Encounters runs 4-8 day expeditions to the best dive sites on the Great Barrier Reef and aims to provide unforgettable wildlife interactions. As the only vessel in the region with no fixed itinerary, we are free to make the most out of changing sea conditions and seasonal highlights to ensure you have the very best experience. The cost of your trip also helps to fund fieldwork by leading marine scientists.
