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).

Croisière bien organisée

Mieux que ce que j'attendais de ce genre de tours. Nous étions environ 60 mais pas serrés. Equipe très sympa, très bien organisée dès le départ. Matériel prêté de bonne qualité : combinaison, masque, tuba, palmes. Bon buffet, et ambiance calme sur le bateau et fun en même temps. Malgré le temps un peu agité nous avons vu des choses magnifiques sous l'eau, dont une grosse tortue.

Best Barrier Reef daytrip

I did another reef daytrip via bookme which was slightly cheaper but in comparison this trip with Divers Den was just better all round. The staff were great, the boat and equipment were better and the reef sites visited were amazing. Would highly recommend tbis

Great experience!!!!

Great experience!!! The crew was really nice, and the experience offered was incredible. We book the trip the day before, and we had no problem with the confirmation email. The boat offered all the stuff needed for snorkeling and also coffee and meal was offered the entire day. Good experience!
