Your personalized reef adventure
Immerse in two stunning coral destinations
If time is of the essence but your heart longs for the complete Great Barrier Reef encounter, this expedition is tailor-made for you. Setting sail from Cairns, you'll delve into two distinct reef locations, each offering a one-of-a-kind communion with the natural world both above and below the water's surface.
Your journey unfolds
Your day commences at the Moore Reef Pontoon, a floating oasis perched on the outer reef. Dive into the azure waters for snorkeling or opt for a curated guided snorkeling escapade. Cruise atop the waves in a glass-bottom boat, or descend into the depths on a semi-submersible tour for an unparalleled view of the marine realm. Little ones can frolic on the mammoth waterslide or swim in the safety of the ocean pool, while grown-ups bask on the sundeck or observe the wonders of the reef through the underwater observatory.
Next, sail to Fitzroy Island, a picturesque haven where verdant rainforest trails lead to secluded enclaves and the pristine shores of Nudey Beach. Meander beneath the canopy of the rainforest, or simply lounge on the sandy shores with the reef just a stone's throw away.
At midday, savor a delectable buffet lunch on the island, feasting on tropical delicacies and authentic Aussie fare before plunging back into the crystal-clear waters or exploring more of the island's treasures. Later, enrich your adventure with a Snorkel Safari led by a marine biologist, a Seawalker helmet dive along the seabed, or an enlightening session at the Turtle Rehab Centre where you'll learn about the dedicated efforts to safeguard injured sea turtles.
