Great Barrier Reef tours

SCUBA diving can be a bit challenging for the first time. First, ensure the following safety measures: 1. Disclose any medications you are taking, aside from birth control or motion sickness medication. (Some chronic medications may require a doctor's authorization for diving.) 2. Allow 18 hours between a dive and flying. Service details: 1. Transportation to the pier is not included. You are responsible for getting to the pier for check-in. 2. We recommend taking motion sickness medication. If you don't have any, it is available for purchase on board. 3. A simple breakfast and lunch are provided on board. 4. Wetsuits are available for rent. 5. We provide personal fins, diving masks, and storage compartments. There are also shared life jackets available for snorkeling. After boarding and before departure, you will need to fill out a safety notice and health questionnaire. Then, our staff will explain how to use the diving equipment. Once the boat is anchored, you can snorkel and free dive from the back of the boat. SCUBA diving is done in groups. This tour includes stops at two dive sites. Before your SCUBA dive, you will practice on the side of the boat. Then, the instructor will guide you, hand-in-hand, to depths of approximately 10 meters or more. However, first-time divers are not allowed to bring photography equipment. A dive photographer will take photos for everyone. The staff are very helpful, and the Great Barrier Reef is well worth the experience.

That trip was fantastic, very well organized. We could choose from glass boat or snorkeling hire and could use resort facilities. The boat was fantastic and snorkeling good, island itself is beautiful too. This trip is very recommended. The vessel boat was great too, boat leaves on time. Great crew 👌

This had to be one of the best tours I have ever taken. The whole experience was amazing. Beautiful boat ride out to the barrier reef. Great dive thanks to amazing staff especially Indi. Amazing buffet lunch with lots of vegan choices!! Snorkeling was just as great as dives due to clarity of water. Finished with great helicopter ride.

if you have seasickness, halfday tour will be perfect for you. but actually, booking tour at the spot will be much cheaper. even fullday tour and half day tour are the same price surprisingly.

This half day trip was a great way to get out in the water and see some sea life. We primarily visited Cairns for a larger trip we booked on the reef, but this extra half day gave us some extra time snorkelling! Saw turtles on top of the water from the boat when we arrived, though weren’t lucky enough to see them under the water. Did see a ray, a reef shark, and plenty of fish! Team were kind and helpful to and from the island. It was nice to kick back with a beverage on the return.

A day on the Great Barrier Reef is a must for any visit to FNQ and this experience is one that will stick in our memories forever. Everything was amazing from the staff to the food to the quality of the wetsuits and facilities on the pontoon. I was also extremely impressed with the cultural presentation at the end of the day that referenced local aboriginal people and the significance the reef has to them. The experience allows for around 5hrs on the pontoon that we found to be sufficient. I would also recommend this tour to hesitant swimmers as there are floatation vests and foam noodles available for those not confident in the open water. Can't wait to do it again!

THANKS Frede and Scott for a wonderful experience. This was our first time to the reef and having these two entertaining and passionate adventurers made this experience more enjoyable. They really love and care for the reef. With the tour, it's about 30 minutes boat ride while jamming to Scott awesome playlist. You'll get to explore two parts of the Mckay Reefs and can enjoy lunch on the sand. Plenty of beverages you can purchase from the esky, and there's a toilet on-board. We'll be back!!

Thisntour was amazing! The staff onboard the boat provided excellent service, educational presentations and wonderful buffet food. The snorkeling was absolutely beautiful and suitable for all levels of experience. If we travel back to Cairns, we’d definitely book this same tour again.
