Guests step aboard a recently refurbished vessel and are welcomed by a friendly, knowledgeable crew who ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish.
The 90-minute journey to the reef includes a full briefing, setting the scene for what’s to come, before arriving at a carefully selected snorkelling site chosen by the captain based on the day’s best conditions.

They’ll happily point out hidden gems and help identify the colourful species that call the reef home, making the experience even more engaging. After time in the water, guests can unwind on the sun deck during the scenic return to Cairns, soaking up the views and ocean breeze.
Light snacks are available on board, rounding out a relaxed yet adventure-filled reef experience!
