Reef Days Start With the Right Maps
Did you know that your best reef adventures start on dry land? Before visiting Orpheus or Pelorus Islands, downloading official public mooring and no-anchoring maps isn’t just smart, it’s reef etiquette.
These maps tell you exactly where to tie up, drift safely and avoid fragile coral, protecting both the reef and your boat. Anchors in the wrong place can crush coral that’s been growing for decades in minutes, while careful planning gives more time to snorkel, watch marine life and float calmly among colourful fish.
Knowing the rules ahead of time means no second-guessing, no stress, and healthier reefs for everyone who comes after you. Small preparation creates big impact, your attention and respect ensure these underwater gardens remain vibrant, productive and magical. A little effort before departure goes a long way underwater.
