Experience the ultimate reef and island adventure with the Reef & Fitzroy Island Full Day Reef Tour, a seamless blend of underwater wonders and tropical island paradise!

Highlights

  • Experience the best of both worlds – up to 2.5 hours on the iconic Great Barrier Reef and up to 2.5 hours on Fitzroy Island in one epic day
  • Snorkel among vibrant coral and marine life or take a thrilling ride down a 30-metre spiral waterslide
  • Stay dry option - explore the reef with a glass-bottom boat tour or underwater observatory
  • Cruise in comfort aboard an air-conditioned catamaran to the stunning Outer Great Barrier Reef
  • Enjoy a premium buffet lunch at Zephyrs restaurant on Fitzroy Island, surrounded by lush rainforest

Departing from Cairns, step aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned catamaran for a scenic 1.5-hour cruise to the Sunlover Moore Reef Pontoon, your gateway to the vibrant Outer Great Barrier Reef. This floating hub is fully equipped for an incredible day of exploration, offering snorkelling gear for up-close encounters with dazzling coral formations, colourful marine life, and even graceful sea turtles.

Little adventurers can splash about in the enclosed ocean pool or take on the exhilarating 30-metre spiral waterslide, twisting straight into the warm, clear waters of the reef. Prefer to stay dry? Glide through the reef’s beauty on a semi-submersible or glass-bottom boat tour, or head to the underwater observatory, where you can marvel at nature’s most breathtaking aquarium without getting wet.

Thrill-seekers can elevate their experience with optional extras like a guided snorkel tour, a Seawalker helmet dive, or a breathtaking scenic helicopter flight over the reef. After an action-packed morning, the journey continues to the stunning Fitzroy Island, where a premium buffet lunch awaits at Zephyrs restaurant on Welcome Bay. With 99% of the island covered in lush tropical rainforest, dotted with rugged granite outcrops, mangroves, and coral-fringed beaches, Fitzroy is a favourite escape for Cairns locals.

Whether you fancy snorkelling straight from the shore, relaxing on the beach, or exploring scenic walking trails, the island offers a perfect balance of adventure and tranquillity. With snorkelling gear included for both locations, you get to experience the best of the Great Barrier Reef and the charm of Fitzroy Island in one incredible day, packed with unforgettable moments and picture-perfect scenery!
