Check-in commences inside the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal, 1 Spence Street, at 07:30am. The vessel departs Cairns Marlin Jetty at 8am arriving at the first reef by 9:30am, leaving the reef at 3pm and arriving back in Cairns by 16:30.

Activity times will be advised on the day and are dependant on passenger numbers and interest in each activity.

You will have approximately 5 hours to explore the reefs, which is up to 2 hours longer than similar cruises. You can snorkel just off the boat, join a guided snorkel tour, try an introductory scuba dive, enjoy lunch and still have time to relax on the deck with a cool drink! You have time to do as much or as little as you like without the rush. Most guests will have travelled a long way to visit the Great Barrier Reef and with so much to see and do it is not something you want to hurry.

Unfortunately, we don’t offer a coach transfer service, however, the Reef Fleet Terminal is in close walking distance from most accommodation outlets in Cairns. Some hotels may offer a courtesy coach service.

No, all activities can be organised and booked once on board. You may wish to speak to the friendly crew prior to selecting activities so activities can be suggested that are best suited to your swimming ability (or lack of). Pre-booking optional activities guarantees availability and also help with crewing the boat with the right number of staff required for each activity. Cancellations by The Supplier of any pre-booked activities are always subject to a full refund.

Hat, towel, sunscreen, sunglasses, something to swim in, a dry change of clothes, cash or credit card for optional activities and onboard purchases such as souvenirs, professional photos from our on-board photographer or a drink from the bar.
