Spend a full day on the Outer Great Barrier Reef with Sunlover Reef Cruises, cruising from Cairns to Moore Reef aboard an air-conditioned catamaran. At Sunlover's custom-built floating pontoon you have around four hours to explore clear waters and coral gardens, home to turtles, parrotfish and friendly Maori wrasse. Snorkel in a large supervised area with all equipment included, or stay dry on a glass-bottom boat tour, a semi-submersible ride and a visit to the underwater observatory. Families can enjoy the enclosed ocean pool for children and the 30-metre spiral waterslide, the only waterslide on the Great Barrier Reef. Marine biology presentations and fish feeding sessions add to the day, and a buffet lunch is served on the pontoon, with freshwater showers and a sun deck for relaxing between swims. Choose the reef day on its own, or add an introductory or certified scuba dive, a guided snorkel safari or a 10-minute scenic helicopter flight, depending on the option you book.
