Great Barrier Reef & Fitzroy Island Day Cruise with Premium Buffet Lunch

Under the reef

The Great Barrier Reef, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is renowned for its stunning coral formations and vibrant marine life. Board your air-conditioned catamaran in Cairns Marina and prepare for an unforgettable 8-hour day of excitement. Start with snorkeling in the reef’s crystal-clear waters. With top-notch equipment and guidance, you’ll encounter colorful corals, parrotfish, and moorish idols in their natural habitat. For thrill-seekers, the Sunlover waterslide is a unique experience, twisting directly into the ocean for an exhilarating splash. Afterward, relax on the sun deck, soaking in panoramic ocean views on the Moore Reef Pontoon. If you prefer a different vantage point, the semi-submersible tour (weather permitting) lets you view the underwater world through large windows, while the glass-bottom boat tour provides clear views of marine life and coral formations without getting wet.

Fun in Koba

Engage with a marine naturalist and learn about the reef's ecosystem and diverse marine species while giving the fish some yummy treats. The underwater observatory offers another perspective, showcasing the reef’s vibrant marine environment. Arriving at Fitzroy Island, enjoy a gourmet buffet lunch amidst tropical scenery. Afterward, explore the island’s lush National Park on a self-guided walk, taking in stunning coastal views and relaxing on pristine beaches like the Nudey Beach. As you head back to Cairns Marina, enjoy gazing at the evening scenery of this spectacular reef – Mother Nature's ultimate marine gift to humanity.
