8 hours 30 mins
Discover the best of both worlds with a full-day adventure to Moore Reef and Fitzroy Island, featuring snorkelling, lunch and island exploration.
Experience two iconic destinations in one incredible day with Sunlover's Moore Reef & Fitzroy Island Cruise. Departing from Cairns, enjoy a comfortable 1.5-hour catamaran journey to the Sunlover Moore Reef Pontoon, perfectly positioned on the Outer Great Barrier Reef. Dive into crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, snorkel among colourful coral gardens, and meet friendly reef residents such as turtles and Maori wrasse.
For those who prefer to stay dry, explore the reef from the comfort of a semi-submersible tour, glass-bottom boat, or through the underwater observatory, which offers a mesmerising window into life below the surface. Thrill-seekers can try the 30-metre spiral waterslide or upgrade with a guided snorkel, Seawalker helmet dive, or scenic helicopter flight.
The adventure continues at Fitzroy Island, where a premium buffet lunch awaits at Zephyr's Restaurant. Spend the afternoon discovering rainforest trails, relaxing on white sandy beaches, or snorkelling straight from shore in the island's turquoise waters.
This full-day tour delivers the best of the Great Barrier Reef and Fitzroy Island in one seamless, unforgettable experience - perfect for travellers seeking both excitement and relaxation in paradise.
