Experience the ultimate reef and island adventure with the Reef & Fitzroy Island Full Day Reef Tour, a seamless blend of underwater wonders and tropical island paradise!
Highlights
- Experience the best of both worlds – up to 2.5 hours on the iconic Great Barrier Reef and up to 2.5 hours on Fitzroy Island in one epic day
- Snorkel among vibrant coral and marine life or take a thrilling ride down a 30-metre spiral waterslide
- Stay dry option - explore the reef with a glass-bottom boat tour or underwater observatory
- Enjoy a buffet lunch at Zephyrs restaurant on Fitzroy Island, surrounded by lush rainforest
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!

Amazing Day Tour
Our day tour with sunlover cruises was phenomenal from check in, boarding through to disembarking. The staff were friendly and helpful. Tour was well organised and the yacht was modern and clean. We had a great time!

Great service
We travelled on sunlover on Saturday and the service was amazing. All the staff were lovely and super helpful. The conditions weren’t the best and a lot of people on the boat were sea sick. The staff were very professional and helpful, handing out bags, tissues and water. The pontoon experience on the reef was awesome. Highly recommend the cruise

Great Experiance!
Everything was great except the semi-submersible which was a lt down, wish that we would have more time on the pontoon and less on the island. Love snorkelling and watching corals.

We were over from Nelson (New Zealand )for a family holiday..All 5 Adults had a amazing time.Im not a confident swimmer but I sat on the ledge and still saw the amazing sea life..Totally recommend this as a must to do.
From Sunlover Reef Cruises - Reef Pontoon and Fitzroy Island Full Day Tour
Thanks so much, Vickster! We’re thrilled to hear your family had an awesome day with us at Moore Reef while visiting from Nelson. It’s especially lovely to hear that, even as a less confident swimmer, you were still able to enjoy seeing the marine life from the ledge. The pontoon is designed to give guests different ways to enjoy the reef, whether they’re keen to snorkel, prefer to stay close to the platforms, or simply want to take it all in at their own pace. We really appreciate your recommendation and hope the rest of your family holiday in Cairns was just as memorable.

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.
