Fantasea Adventure Cruising prides itself on its educational, research and environmental policies. Our Marine biologists are present on all of our eco-certified tours to provide a guided scientific experience, highlighting the wonders of the natural world that make the Great Barrier Reef and the Whitsunday islands such amazing places to visit.
This area is Fantasea Adventure Cruising’s scientific information portal. Here you can connect to a wealth of information, pictures and multimedia to educate and enrich your experience with Fantasea. We have excellent links with organisations such as the Australian Institute of Marine Science and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority who are all stakeholders in the promotion and preservation of these natural environments within which we operate.
We hope that you enjoy learning about the natural world and that it inspires you to come and visit, or enriches the time spent with us by enabling you to build some foundation knowledge about what you will see and experience.
During your visit, our staff and particularly our marine biologists hold a wealth of knowledge about the area and what you will experience. They are a friendly bunch so please do not hesitate to ask a question. They are always ready to answer!
