What to expect
Start with a guided hike through Yardie Creek Gorge, where the trail winds through a scenic canyon with chances to spot rock wallabies and other wildlife. The walking is steady but not strenuous—expect a couple of hours on foot. After, you'll head to Turquoise Bay for a guided snorkel session where the reef sits close to shore; the guide will point out notable corals and marine life. Lunch breaks at the visitor centre, then a quick stop at the lighthouse before returning. The pace is relaxed and you're never far from shade or the air-conditioned vehicle.
Good to know
Bring your own water bottle, towel, and sunscreen—these aren't provided. The hike involves some uneven terrain but is suitable for most fitness levels; not recommended if you have serious heart or lung issues. Wear water shoes for the snorkel site.
