from A$307 per person

7 hours 15 mins

Experience the Great Barrier Reef at Moore Reef from Cairns with Sunlover Cruises. Snorkel coral gardens, explore marine life, enjoy semi-submersible and glass-bottom boat tours, relax at the ocean pool, and have fun on a 30-metre spiral waterslide.

Discover the wonders of Moore Reef on the Great Barrier Reef with Sunlover Cruises' iconic day trip from Cairns. This experience gives you exclusive access to a custom-designed outer reef pontoon, where you can explore vibrant coral gardens and abundant marine life, including resident turtles and Maori wrasse.

Choose your adventure with inclusive activities such as snorkelling in the natural lagoon, or opt to stay dry while witnessing the underwater world via semi-submersible and glass bottom boat tours. Visit the underwater observatory for a unique perspective below the surface, while kids will love the enclosed ocean pool and the thrill of Sunlover's 30-metre spiral waterslide into the ocean.

Safety and comfort are prioritised, with trained lifeguards stationed on the pontoon and accessible water entry via snorkel platforms and stairs. Sunlover's team, including marine biologists and experienced crew, are on hand to help you get the most from your day.

Your day begins at Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns, including check-in, boarding, and a comfortable cruise to Moore Reef. Enjoy four hours of reef time before returning to Cairns Marina, with the option to add guided snorkel tours, Seawalker helmet dives, SCUBA dives, or scenic helicopter flights if you crave even more adventure.
