Experience the Great Barrier Reef on a day trip from Cairns. Whether you’re a snorkeller, first time diver or certified diver, you’ll spend a magical day with Divers Den.
Discover the marine wonderland of the outer Great Barrier Reef, just a 90-minute boat trip from Cairns. We’ll spend five hours at the reef and visit two stunning dive sites. These are expertly chosen from our exclusive moorings on the Norman, Saxon and Hastings reefs to bring you the best quality conditions and diverse marine life, from colourful corals to inquisitive Nemos, turtles, stingrays and giant Maori Wrasse.
AquaQuest is our newest vessel and purpose-built for diving and snorkelling. It has a spacious dive deck and a sunken platform offering easy access to the water, plus state of the art equipment. Choose safe and enjoyable snorkelling for you and your family, introductory diving with full pre-dive tuition, or certified diving for a choice of three spectacular dives. Travelling with both certified divers and keen snorkellers? No problem – you’ll share your journey out on the reef together on the same vessel, and complete your dives/snorkel experiences at the same dive sites.
During your Great Barrier Reef day trip, enjoy our large sun decks, air conditioned indoor spaces and hot fresh water showers. After a morning spent exploring the reef, enjoy a generous buffet lunch with a range of hot and cold foods, salads, rolls and tropical fruit to refuel for the afternoon.

Belle expérience !
Nous avons pu bien profiter de la barrière de corail. Il est indiqué que nous serions 5h dans l’eau mais c’est plutôt 3h30, ce qui est déjà très bien ! Le snorkeling est plus joli que la plongée. Comme il y a beaucoup de baptêmes en même temps, on est un peu infantilisés, il faut bien tenir le moniteur au bras tout du long (j’en suis à mon 7eme baptême ça n’était plus nécessaire). Le briefing n’est pas le même entre le snorkeling et la plongée. En plongée on nous a prévenu qu’il pouvait y avoir des requins, pas en snorkeling. Pourtant, certains en ont vu en snorkeling justement. En tout cas, les équipes sont pros et bien rodées pour avoir pas mal de monde sur le bateau ! On est rentrés plus tôt que prévu mais c’était quand même bien cool, les coraux sont magnifiques !

Fantastic Experience
The wife & I had a great day! Nice trip out to the reef, food and drinks provided. Thank you for to James & Alex who pulled us along whilst snorkelling at both sites, both very knowledgeable and we are both glad we came along. A bit nervous for both of us to begin with as we hadn’t snorkelled in well over 10 years but very happy we did it, they are memories that will last a lifetime. The only downfall was that I didn’t hire an underwater camera but that’s on me. Next time we come back to cairns we will do the trip again, cheers Aqua Quest!

Beautiful reef
The snorkel spots on the reef were really beautiful, colourful and a lot of fishes. However, the crew seemed rather annoyed and did not care that much about how passengers were feeling. Lunch was pretty hectic, more time would have been nice. Maybe move to the second snorkel/dive location before lunche so that everyone can enjoy lunch as long or short as they want. After all people pay a lot of money to do this trip...

Mala experiencia
La experiencia fue horrible, el mar estaba muy movido e día y antes de llegar ya estaba malo y no pude hacer la actividad ni comer en todo el viaje, ni tenía forma de regresar. A pesar de ello la empresa no responde ni compensa de algún modo a pesar de el mal día que pasé. El personal de tripulación en cambio si estuvo pendiente de mi. Pero para otra ocasión buscaría otra empresa que se preocupara más del bienestar de los pasajeros.

Expérience excellente
Excellente expérience. La communication pourrait être améliorée sur le temps passé sur chaque endroit. Aidant et soucieux du bien-être des clients notamment par rapport au mal de mer.
