• 5RM846XM+R4V - Embark from Cairns on a swift catamaran, offering a smooth 1.5-hour journey to the outer Great Barrier Reef.

Upon arrival at the pontoon, start exploring the reef, a rich and intricate ecosystem that hosts over 1,500 fish species, 400 coral varieties, 200 bird species, and 20 reptile types. Snorkel in the protected coral lagoon, try scuba diving with a certified dive or introductory session (no prior experience needed), or join the onboard marine biologist for a guided snorkeling safari (diving and guided snorkeling are additional costs). Our marine biologists offer a presentation in the reef’s only science lab. You can also enjoy a session with our marine biologist, who highlights resident fish like “Wally,” the Maori wrasse. Stay dry and observe the marine life from the semi-submersible reef viewer, glass-bottom boat, or underwater observatory.
Additional optional activities (at your own expense) include a helmet dive for a scuba-style experience up to 3 meters deep, or a scenic helicopter flight for a breathtaking aerial view of the reef. Alternatively, simply unwind and soak up the tropical weather on the sundeck.
