Escape on a catamaran tour with a scenic 10-minute helicopter flight, explore our spacious platform on the Great Barrier Reef teeming with coral gardens and vibrant marine life.

What to expect

Explore the heart of the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef Marine Park on this day trip from Cairns. Journey on a semi-submarine catamaran that's perfect for all ages, swimmers and non-swimmers alike, with a range of onboard and water activities.

Travel to a spacious activity platform moored on the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef, where marine biodiversity is at its most spectacular. Enjoy a scenic 10-minute helicopter flight for a breathtaking aerial view of this natural wonder.
