Departing from Cairns, step aboard a comfortable, air-conditioned catamaran for a scenic 1.5-hour cruise to the Sunlover Moore Reef Pontoon, your gateway to the vibrant Outer Great Barrier Reef. This floating hub is fully equipped for an incredible day of exploration, offering snorkelling gear for up-close encounters with dazzling coral formations, colourful marine life, and even graceful sea turtles.
Little adventurers can splash about in the enclosed ocean pool or take on the exhilarating 30-metre spiral waterslide, twisting straight into the warm, clear waters of the reef. Prefer to stay dry? Glide through the reef’s beauty on a semi-submersible or glass-bottom boat tour, or head to the underwater observatory, where you can marvel at nature’s most breathtaking aquarium without getting wet.
Thrill-seekers can elevate their experience with optional extras like a guided snorkel tour, a Seawalker helmet dive, or a breathtaking scenic helicopter flight over the reef. After an action-packed morning, the journey continues to the stunning Fitzroy Island, where a premium buffet lunch awaits at Zephyrs restaurant on Welcome Bay. With 99% of the island covered in lush tropical rainforest, dotted with rugged granite outcrops, mangroves, and coral-fringed beaches, Fitzroy is a favourite escape for Cairns locals.
Whether you fancy snorkelling straight from the shore, relaxing on the beach, or exploring scenic walking trails, the island offers a perfect balance of adventure and tranquillity. With snorkelling gear included for both locations, you get to experience the best of the Great Barrier Reef and the charm of Fitzroy Island in one incredible day, packed with unforgettable moments and picture-perfect scenery!

Awesome Day Out!
We recently did the one day reef tour and then on to Fitzroy Island for lunch and a snorkel. The seas were high, most people got seasick but the crew looked after everyone and we were warned many times prior to departure that Travacam was recommended (most around us didn't take it though). The pontoon is a great facility, the equipment fine and the time permitted to explore the underwater world was perfect. The Reef itself was in really good condition, surprising and awesome to see. So many colourful fish and other marine life (turtles, a small reef shark and we found Nemo!). Fitzroy Island was good, not as great as snorkelling on the reef but still worth it. The lunch was reasonably good. I'd recommend including a few more options for kids. The only other thing to change would be allowing some additional time prior to departure from each location for people to get a hot drink (we only just got on board and it closed instantly but we didn't depart for another 20mins- plenty of time to drink a hot drink with no waves or for it to cool). Overall, I thoroughly recommend doing this trip. Thanks for an amazing day out!
