This is the latest departure to the Outer Barrier Reef from Cairns with a very relaxed 10:30am departure. After dropping passengers at Green Island you will continue your cruise on-board a modern comfortable high-speed catamaran to the first class multi-level pontoon situated on the outer edge at Norman Reef.
The diversity of the Marine life out here is amazing. We saw a huge number of beautiful small and very large tropical fish including a huge Maori Wrasse "Wally" who kept coming right up to us to say hello. It is the closest I have come to swimming in an aquarium. The Coral Gardens are very pretty and extensive.
As a dive site there were fabulous swim throughs and caves and a fantastic range of sea life.
If you want to learn more about the reef there is a Guided Snorkel tour that is very informative.
Please let us know your Cairns accommodation or Cairns Beaches accommodation so that we can arrange your return transfers. If you are staying in the city most Cairns City Hotels are located within walking distance to the Reef Fleet Terminal.
Optional Extras:
Scenic Helicopter Flights: See the reef from below and above! You can fly to the reef or fly home by helicopter, or, do a quick Joy Flight while at the reef. There are many options and this is an absolute BUZZ! These are at an additional cost.
Scuba Doo: This Outer Barrier Reef pontoon is the only place in Australia where you can cruise the reef in your own space-age underwater scooter. Tours depart every 25 minutes from the pontoon with professional guides. There are limited places so it is best to book early.
