Do I need to print my booking confirmation?

Usually no. A digital copy on your phone is accepted, but check your operator’s requirements in the booking confirmation.

Can I make a group booking?

BookMe requires full payment at the time of booking. Deposits are not accepted.

What payment methods do you accept?

BookMe accepts major credit and debit cards for secure payments.

Are there any booking fees?

How do I know if my booking is refundable?

Do prices change depending on the day or time?

Do I need an account to book?

Yes. You need a free BookMe account to make and manage bookings, cancellations, and refunds.

Includes kayaks and stand-up paddleboards for extra fun

Designed with convenience in mind, this experience offers a later start and earlier return, making it ideal for families with young children, cruise ship passengers, or travellers wanting to fit more into their Cairns itinerary without feeling rushed.

Set on the stunning Normanby Island, guests are treated to pristine beaches, clear tropical waters, and a relaxed island atmosphere that captures the essence of the reef. There’s plenty of free time to swim, wander along the shoreline, or simply unwind on the sand while taking in the natural surroundings.

For those keen to be more active, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards are available, offering a fun way to explore the calm waters at their own pace. The tour also includes a choice of one guided activity, whether it’s a semi-submersible tour for a dry glimpse beneath the surface or a guided beach snorkelling experience led by a knowledgeable crew.

With a balance of leisure and light adventure, this express option ensures guests still enjoy the highlights of the reef while keeping the day flexible, easy, and memorable from start to finish!
