Great Barrier Reef Cruise from Cairns

Experience two unique sites at the world's most famous coral reef with our Great Barrier Reef Cruise from Cairns. This personalised trip allows you to enjoy the beauty of the reef for a full 6h, no matter whether it's by snorkeling, swimming, or simply relaxing on deck.

Departing from Cairns, the Great Barrier Reef cruise will begin with a 1h trip on our luxurious 20m motor catamaran to our first destination of the day, the so-called 'Wonder Wall' on the outer edge of Upolu Reef. Here, you will have several hours to explore the colourful corals and the bustling marine wildlife the Great Barrier Reef is famous for. You'll have the opportunity to go snorkeling by yourself or join our guided adventure drift snorkel tour.

After a couple of hours, the Great Barrier Reef cruise will continue with a lunchtime trip to our second destination of the day, namely the Upolu Reef Cay, during which you will be served a delicious smorgasbord lunch. Once we've reached our second mooring location, you will once again be able to snorkel in the shallow and crystal clear waters of the cay. Our friendly staff is always at hand to provide assistance or instructions if needed. There is also an optional glass-bottom boat ride. On some days, when conditions allow, you can walk on the sandy cay but all times you can swim in the crystal clear turquoise waters of this area. And of course, you are welcome to just sunbathe on deck and leave all your worries behind until it's time to head back to Cairns.
