Description

With Reef Magic, sail to the Great Barrier Reef on a catamaran from Cairns. Explore the reef in the way that suits you with snorkeling, diving, or admire it from inside a glass-bottom boat. Then, enjoy a buffet lunch. Depart directly from Cairns on a fast, stable catamaran providing a smoother ride and reduced travel time, leaving more of your day to experience the magic of the Great Barrier Reef.  The new all-weather platform caters to all activity levels. Snorkel in the sheltered coral lagoon, join a marine biologist on a guided snorkel safari or scuba dive (no experience necessary). You can also select the option to try a Helmet Dive for an experience without getting your hair wet. If simply relaxing and soaking up the tropical warmth is more your style then take time out the spacious sundeck.

All snorkeling equipment, wetsuit, and Lycra suit Science laboratory where Marine Biologists presentations are held - the only one on the Great Barrier Reef Semi-Submersible tour, Glass Bottom Boat and Underwater Reef Viewing Observatory depending on option selected Fish feeding Fish identification session with Marine Biologist Infants safety swimming enclosure and dedicated snorkel supervisor if option selected Morning, afternoon tea, and refreshments Delicious chef-prepared buffet lunch
