Itinerary
Day One
Your trip begins when we pick you up from your accommodation. From there, we’ll make our way out in to the stunning Great Barrier Reef via Fitzroy Island so you’ll get a feel for the surroundings and can soak up the incredible views.
We’ll arrive at our first reef site just before 10am, where we’ll set up lunch and you can kick back and relax with a bite to eat. When you’ve refueled, it’s time to try your first snorkel session. During this, you’ll get up close and personal with the region’s marine life and will learn more about the Great Barrier Reef as a natural habitat.
We’ll then make our way to the second site and do the same again before dinner. In the evening, you can relax on deck with a nice meal.
Day Two
It’s an early start to day two with a wake up call at 5.30am. We’ll take our first snorkel session before breakfast, where you can see the marine life as it starts to kick into life in the morning. After breakfast, we’ll head to our second reef site and then our third reef site before we finish with lunch.
After you’re fully refueled, we’ll make our way back to Cairns via Fitzroy Island. This is where your two-day adventure on the Great Barrier Reef comes to an end.
