On our 1 Day Great Barrier Reef Deluxe Cruise, escape into a world of surprises and experience the breathtaking beauty of spectacular coral gardens and unique marine life. Take part in snorkelling and diving activities at two spectacular reef sites on the Outer Reef.
Departing from Cairns, we cruise to the Outer Reef as our experts give you a comprehensive explanation of the ecosystem of the reef and demonstrate the use of the equipment. Once we arrive at our first reef site, explore beneath the blue waters to see the stunning coral reefs and the breathtaking array of marine creatures. Experience the wonder of the underwater world from a new perspective with a complimentary certified or beginner dive.
We’ll have a delicious lunch on board before the short journey to our second reef site. Here, enjoy the complimentary snorkelling activities or a glass-bottom boat tour to experience the reef while staying dry.

Explore the rainforest along an elevated boardwalk, hopefully catching a glimpse of Australia’s most spectacular bird species, the endangered Cassowary.
