Our 1 Day Great Barrier Reef Tour from Cairns, is an exceptional way to visit one of the world’s most iconic destinations. Join us as we uncover spectacular marine life in the picturesque coral reef and crystal clear blue waters. Swim, snorkel or scuba dive amongst the blue waters of the Great Barrier Reef.

Your small group will leave cairns early! With a small group, we'll be heading toward Upolu Reef where we'll be trying to visit two snorkel and dive sites. On the boat, your knowledgeable crew will make sure to point out all the different kinds of marine life along the way. As we have around 4 hours at this reef, you have a lot of time to explore the underwater world, go for a swim and enjoy the sun on the deck.

You can join a guided snorkel tour with a dive expert who can teach you all about snorkelling and diving. If you have booked a dive or two (own expense), the crew will try to give you as much time as possible for scuba diving amongst the Great Barrier Reef.

After exploring the wonders of the reef, we'll head back to Cairns. While we sail back to the marina, take in the stunning views of the reef and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine. It's the perfect way to finish the day!

Please note, everyone on board this boat is subjected to a $15.00 levy*
