Sprit of Freedom 4 Day / 3 Night Cod Hole & Ribbon Reefs Adventure is the perfect way to experience the Great Barrier Reef in comfort.

The Cod Hole is 200km north of Cairns and is famous for its resident family of massive potato Cod. The Ribbon Reefs stretch from the Cod Hole in a string of isolated pinnacles and coral gardens with huge plate corals sustaining an amazing display of tropical fish, enormous giant clams, Moray eels, turtles, reef sharks and giant Napoleon wrasse.

THE DIVING on this trip is shallow diving with a sandy bottom from 15 to 30 metres. The coral diversity and color is a photographers dream with clouds of colourful tropical fish, anemones, soft and hard corals. The Ribbon Reefs are also perfect for 'drift dives' with isolated pinnacles, walls and channels.

The return is by low-level flight over the reef from Lizard Island, arriving in Cairns on Thursday at 11:30am.
