Which Activity Pass is right for you?

If you’re still deciding between the Day Pass and the Adventure Activities Pass, here’s how to pick the one that best fits your plans:

Activities Package, which adds guided tours like snorkeling, Segway rides, and cruises for a more action-packed adventure.

  • Timing: If you’re visiting for just a few hours, the Day Pass is perfect, offering a shorter, flexible experience of around 4–6 hours. If you have more time and want a full day of guided fun, choose the Adventure Activities Pass, which typically lasts 8–13 hours and covers multiple activities with guided support.
  • No. of activities: If you’re happy with just snorkeling and kayaking, the Day Pass will do nicely. If you want to fit in several adventures — like a guided snorkel, Segway ride, or cruise — the Adventure Activities Pass gives you more variety.
  • Budget considerations: Looking for a great-value day with plenty to do? The Day Pass (from AU$179) covers all the essentials. If you’d rather upgrade for more inclusions and guided experiences, the Adventure Activities Pass (from AU$289) is worth the extra for a full-day island adventure.
