Itinerary

Exact itineraries vary depending on the tour type. 

After checking in in Cairns, you will board the comfortable Sunlover catamaran, which will take you to the floating pontoon on Moore Reef. During the crossing, you can enjoy the view and get in the mood for your reef adventure.

Once you arrive at the pontoon, you have several hours to discover the underwater world in your preferred way. Snorkel in the protected lagoon, use the two spacious snorkeling platforms with staircase access or stay dry on a semi-submarine or glass-bottom boat tour. Visit the underwater observatory, watch the colorful variety of marine life feeding on fish and enjoy the view of one of the most beautiful natural aquariums in the world.

For younger guests, there is a safe ocean pool and a 30-meter long spiral water slide that leads directly into the sea – a real highlight! Professional lifeguards ensure safety throughout the day.

Those looking for even more adventure can book an optional guided snorkeling tour, a Seawalker helmet dive, intro or certified SCUBA diving or even a panoramic helicopter flight.

On the way back to Cairns, you can relax, look at photos and end the day with a smile – your best memories will be sent to you digitally.
