Departing from Cairns, step aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned catamaran for a scenic 1.5-hour cruise to the Sunlover Moore Reef Pontoon, your gateway to the vibrant Outer Great Barrier Reef.
This floating hub is fully equipped for an incredible day of exploration, offering snorkelling gear for up-close encounters with dazzling coral formations, colourful marine life, and even graceful sea turtles.
Little adventurers can splash about in the enclosed ocean pool or take on the exhilarating 30-metre spiral waterslide, twisting straight into the warm, clear waters of the reef.
Prefer to stay dry? Glide through the reef’s beauty on a semi-submersible or glass-bottom boat tour, or head to the underwater observatory, where you can marvel at nature’s most breathtaking aquarium without getting wet.
Thrill-seekers can elevate their experience with optional extras like a guided snorkel tour, a Seawalker helmet dive, or a breathtaking scenic helicopter flight over the reef.
After an action-packed morning, the journey continues to the stunning Fitzroy Island, where a buffet lunch awaits at Zephyrs restaurant on Welcome Bay.
With 99% of the island covered in lush tropical rainforest, dotted with rugged granite outcrops, mangroves, and coral-fringed beaches, Fitzroy is a favourite escape for Cairns locals.
Whether you fancy swimming or relaxing on the beach, or exploring scenic walking trails, the island offers a perfect balance of adventure and tranquillity.
You get to experience the best of the Great Barrier Reef and the charm of Fitzroy Island in one incredible day, packed with unforgettable moments and picture-perfect scenery!

Fantastic day out on the reef and Fitzroy Island
Crew members were super friendly and professional. Glass bottom boat and snorkelling at the reef absolutely spectacular. Could've stayed longer on beautiful Fitzroy Island, but to be fair we were pretty exhausted from a great day out when we came back to Cairns.

Abenteuer
War sehr cool, insbesondere das Scuba Diving, der Lehrer war klasse, aber manche extra Kosten , wie den Wet Suit oder die Mask für Brillenträger, sollten schon beim Buchen kommuniziert werden.
