Plunge into your Great Barrier Reef experience! Get underwater and come face to face with stunning coral, bright fish and fascinating ecosystems. It&#39;s the best way to see the reef.&nbsp; 
 
On this trip, you&nbsp;get to spend over 24 hours on the Great Barrier Reef itself, from 11.00 am till 11.45 am the next day! That&#39;s 2 full days and 1 night aboard!&nbsp;This trip is perfect&nbsp;for swimmers and non-swimmers, and for all levels of snorkelling ability.&nbsp;

 
Itinerary: 
 
Day 1:&nbsp;Cairns to Outer Reef 
 
Passengers meet at the company office (Rum Runner - Marlin Marina, E finger, Berth 3). Boarding begins at 7.00 am.&nbsp;with departure by 7.30 am. 
 
You&#39;ll head out onto the reef, listening to a snorkeling briefing as you go, so you&#39;re ready to jump in as soon as you arrive.&nbsp;Passengers are briefed on the itinerary and safety aspects of the trip and boat, and the dive equipment is organized. You&#39;re welcome to join in, grab a line and hoist a sail alongside the crew!

You&#39;ll arrive at Thetford Reef around 11.00 am. The area is loved for its&nbsp;ample coral coverage and fish life and you&#39;ll be paddling&nbsp;over spectacular sites such as&nbsp;The Labyrinth, the Lagoon, Hurricane Bay, Coral Gardens. Float over shallow coral gardens and caverns and explore swim through&#39;s and spectacular walls.&nbsp;

The Dive Instructor will brief everyone on general dive safety and details of the first dive site, and then it&#39;s time to jump in! Diving will be tailored to suit individual experience levels - This is only relevant for those who have booked the intro dive package. 
 
After getting a taste of what to come, settle back on the boat to enjoy lunch (12.30 pm). Nicknamed the&nbsp;Rum Runner, your&nbsp;vessel&nbsp;is the equivalent of a multi-share hostel, just on water. It&nbsp;can accommodate up to 16 guests in multi-share twin single bunk areas, semi-private twin single bunk cabins, and a 4-share single bunk cabin.&nbsp; 
 
After lunch, it&#39;s time for your second snorkel expedition at 1.30 pm. Then, enjoy some snacks at 3.00 pm to replenish your energy levels. 
 
You&#39;ll enjoy another dive at 3.30 pm, before sitting down to dinner at 6.00 pm.&nbsp;You&#39;ll watch the sun setting over the mountains behind Cairns as you eat. There&#39;s the chance to&nbsp;relax, have a few social drinks and get to know each other.&nbsp; At 7.30 pm,&nbsp; watch the divers jump in to complete their night dive.&nbsp; 
 
Afterwards, climb into bed&nbsp;ready to spend a night on the waves.&nbsp; 
 
 
Day 2: 
 
Start the day with a snorkel trip at 7.00 am, before tucking into breakfast at 8.30 am. 
 
Relax on board for a while, then head into the water again&nbsp;at 9.30 am.&nbsp; 
 
Say goodbye to the waves as you eat lunch at 11.00 am.&nbsp;&nbsp;As you sail back through the Barrier Reef, you can watch out for dolphins or whales, and see Queensland&#39;s tallest mountains. You&#39;ll arrive back in Cairns&nbsp;between 3.00 pm and 3.30 pm. Finish the trip with a couple of drinks going over the photos and videos with your fellow travellers.

 
Trips depart Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.&nbsp;
