Great Barrier Reef 2-Station Cruise: Outer Reef + Snorkeling and Diving Tour (1 Day)

Your Great Barrier Reef adventure begins here—spend a day aboard a luxury cruise to two reef sites, including Upolu Cay Reef and the outer edge of Upolu Reef. Enjoy six hours of exploration and learning on the reef. Step aboard our ultra-fast, luxurious 20-meter CAT and feel right at home as you embark on a marine discovery journey. After an early boarding at Marlin Marina, breathe in the fresh morning sea breeze as we set sail to one of two snorkeling and diving destinations. There, you’ll explore the dazzling fish and coral reefs of the ocean. At the breathtaking Upolu Reef, observe graceful blue-spotted stingrays, resilient green sea turtles, vibrant damselfish, and other incredible marine life from a glass-bottom boat. Then, get up close with these fascinating creatures while snorkeling in the crystal-clear emerald waters. The second snorkeling and diving site is the enchanting "Wall of Wonders," located on the outer edge of Upolu Reef. Snorkel effortlessly along the wall’s top to admire the diverse marine life and corals. Opt for a certified or introductory guided dive to encounter a variety of aquatic flora and fauna, including hard and soft corals, giant clams, sea fans, turtles, and a kaleidoscope of tropical fish as you descend along the underwater wall. Between visits to these two sites, indulge in a regal buffet lunch featuring smoked salmon, prawns, three types of cold cuts, a chicken platter, three fresh salads, and assorted bread. After six hours of relaxed diving and snorkeling, savor more delicious treats on the return journey, arriving back in Cairns around 4:30 PM.
