Explore the magical wonders of the world’s most incredible natural wonder on this exciting one-day tour of the Great Barrier Reef.

Throughout the day, you’ll get to discover colourful marine life. Snorkel, dive, or swimming, above the Great Barrier Reef! There are plenty of opportunities for you to learn about the unique ecosystems this part of Australia.

Once you board the comfortable catamaran in Cairns, we’ll make our way to our first outer reef site. On the way, a knowledgeable eco naturalist will share information about the Great Barrier Reef and its residents with you while you enjoy a morning cup of tea.

When we get to the first spot, we’ll brief you on how best to explore the underwater world. You can snorkel, dive, or swim amongst the colourful collection of fish, ancient turtles, and mesmerising coral reefs. If you don’t fancy getting in the water, you’re more than welcome to stay onboard the boat and soak up the sun from the deck.

We’ll stop for lunch, which will be a delicious tropical buffet of hot and cold dishes, as well as tasty local fruit, and then we’ll make our way to the second reef site. When we arrive, you’ll once again have the chance to explore the area via snorkelling, diving or swimming.

We'll end the day by making our way back to Cairns, where your Great Barrier Reef Day Tour comes to an end.
