What to expect

Sit back and relax on a catamaran cruise from Cairns to the Great Barrier Reef, where you enjoy a raft of included water activities from Moore Reef multi level pontoon.

Prior to departure at 10.15am from the marina enjoy complimentary tea and coffee.
Travel in air-conditioned comfort to the state-of-the-art activity pontoon. Moore Reef is a prime location on the Outer Great Barrier Reef, abundant with soft corals and marine life.

Learn about the reef and its diverse ecosystems on the outward journey with presentations given by marine experts. Upon arrival at the pontoon choose from an array of activities suitable for both swimmers and non-swimmers alike.

Make use of the inclusive snorkelling equipment. Alternatively, watch the daily fish feeding presentation, or take a trip on the glass bottom boat or semi-submersible tour with marine experts providing commentary.

Soak up the rays on a spacious sun deck, or make a splash on a theme park-style waterslide. See the reef without getting wet in the underwater observatory.
