Magical small group adventure with 30 or less snorkellers. Visit one of the most pristine reefs available on a day visit from the Cairns area. On return from the reef visit beautiful unspoilt Dunk Island for a beach walk, afternoon swim or cocktail onboard QuickCoast.

Highlights

  • Experience the Great Barrier Reef away from the crowds on QuickCoast's reef cruise
  • Explore the tropical paradise and untouched pristine beaches in Dunk Island
  • Experience a unique and full of fun cruise adventure!

This epic half day Reef tour begins with a coach pickup from Cairns, taking you on a scenic southbound route towards the picturesque Cassowary Coast and Mission Beach.

We then hop aboard QuickCoast, the fast, comfy catamaran with quality service, and reach Beaver Reef & Cay in less than an hour from Mission Beach or Dunk Island directly.

A trip to the Great Barrier Reef is a bucket list adventure for most of us. Snorkeling is the easiest way to check out the reef's amazing diversity, with most of it happening just four meters below the surface. You'll have the freedom to swim at your own pace, wherever and whenever you like, with all the gear provided. Our friendly marine experts lead snorkeling tours and reef talks every day.

Spend around 3.5 hours exploring Beaver Cay & Reef and stop in for an hour chilling at Dunk Island on the way back.

Once we arrive at Clump Point Marina (around 5pm) we get aboard the Myroo Coach and have you back in Cairns by approximately 7pm.

Perfect day on the Reef

This trip was expertly run from start to finish. We enjoyed a very personal experience. The reef conditions were perfect, food was catered for all day and nothing was too much trouble by our guides.

Life Changing Experience

One surreal experience especially once in the reef amongst the spectacular coral of all sizes, shapes and patterns. So many fish to witness with a diversity of angelfish, sweet lips, clownfish, needle fish, parrotfish, surgeonfish, butterflyfish, manta rays, angelfish, triggerfish and groupers. The list of fish was continuous and all so friendly. Everyone should do this trip in their lifetime. Life changing
