2 Days 1 Night Liveaboard on OceanQuest
Take your Great Barrier Reef adventure to the next level with an unforgettable overnight stay aboard OceanQuest. Spend your days snorkelling or diving some of the reef's most spectacular outer reef sites, then relax under a canopy of stars as the sun sets over the Coral Sea.
Our liveaboard vessel, OceanQuest, is the ultimate Great Barrier Reef overnight experience from Cairns. Spend your days and nights exploring the best outer Great Barrier Reef dive sites aboard our floating accommodation, with snorkel, intro dive and certified dive options available.
When just one day at the reef isn't enough, an overnight trip from Cairns gives you all the time you need. Visit our colourful dive and snorkel sites during the day, and at night, everything from the air-conditioned cabins with en-suites, lounge and bar, is designed for your comfort.
Our three-deck, 35m catamaran is purpose-built for a top-class dive holiday, with a spacious dive deck, large open sundecks and hot, fresh water showers. All delicious meals are prepared by our onboard chef, including hearty breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Enjoy a well-deserved dessert treat after your day in the water!
Overnight (liveaboard) Great Barrier Reef trips from Cairns are truly a remarkable adventure. With more than 14 permanent moorings at Saxon and Norman reefs, and selected sites at Hastings Reef, snorkellers and divers of all levels can explore the reef and its diverse marine life from early morning to night.
At night, relax in the lounge and bar. Or if you're keen for more undersea adventures, try a unique night dive experience like Fluoro Diving to make your time on board our floating reef hotel truly unforgettable.
An overnight experience is also the perfect time to complete or enhance your practical dive training at the outer Great Barrier Reef. With our expert dive instructors, you'll be in the best possible hands.
