Travel Itinerary
Discover the renowned S.S. Yongala Wreck, ranked among the Top 10 Wreck Dives worldwide! Located within the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, this site is protected by the Historic Shipwreck Act (1976). Explore the stunning artifacts, diverse marine life, and vibrant corals adorning the wreck, which spans from 15m to 29m below the surface.
As the sole large reef structure in the area, the wreck attracts an abundance of marine life, making it Australia's premier dive site. Encounter impressive creatures such as turtles, sea snakes, giant trevally, Queensland gropers, eagle rays, manta rays, sharks, and countless tropical fish. During the cooler months, witness the majestic humpback whales on their annual migration, offering unforgettable displays of tail slapping, pectoral fin waves, and breathtaking breaches.
Don't miss the chance to witness these awe-inspiring sights on our Great Barrier Reef tour during whale season. Experience the thrill of encountering these magnificent creatures up close, creating memories that will last a lifetime!View Location
