LUXURY OCEAN FREEDOM

Ocean Freedom is the first Great Barrier Reef tour to arrive at Upolu Cay, where you will have time to explore the sandy Cay and surrounding reef uninterrupted. Upolu Cay is a naturally formed coral cay protected by shallow waters, making it the perfect location from which to explore the reef!

Your day begins when you board Ocean Freedom at 7:30am at the Cairns Marina. Enjoy a Danish pastry, fruit, morning tea or coffee in the comfortable lounge followed by an introductory safety brief before kicking back and enjoying the one hour cruise to Upolu Cay. For those who would like to scuba dive the paperwork and briefs are completed during the journey out, so when you arrive at The Great Barrier Reef you are ready to dive!

As the skipper navigates Luggers Pass, Upolu Cay and the Great Barrier Reef come into view. Paradise! Make fresh footprints in the beautiful coral sand, swim, snorkel and scuba dive in the turquoise waters. Ocean Freedom offers certified dive guides and snorkel tours as well as top quality equipment at no extra cost.
