Your adventure begins with a scenic 90-minute boat ride from Cairns to the Outer Reef, where you'll be able to snorkel at some of the most breathtaking reef sites. You’ll have up to 4 hours to explore the reef and experience two incredible sites.

We’ll carefully select two of the top reef sites based on the day’s conditions, with incredible spots along the rich and diverse Norman, Saxon, and Hastings Reefs.

On your day out on Sea Quest, you'll have the chance to witness a stunning array of marine life, from vibrant tropical fish and beautiful coral formations to turtles and the occasional clownfish (Nemo). With Divers Den, you’ll travel in comfort on our modern vessel, and choose to relax on the deck or in our comfortable lounge area, and enjoy a delicious lunch during your day.

Please note: Sea Quest is a transfer vessel offering snorkeling excursions only, and on the return journey, we’ll make our way to our liveaboard vessel, Ocean Quest, where we’ll dock at around 2:00pm for a smooth transfer for those guests embarking or disembarking from the liveaboard. The transfer takes about 30 minutes, and then we’ll continue our 90-minute journey back to Cairns.
