Cairns: Outer and Coral Cay Snorkel and Dive Cruise

Cairns: Outer and Coral Cay Snorkel and Dive Cruise

Step foot on a super-fast, luxury 20m CAT, feeling welcomed and pampered, and embark on an ocean-filled journey of discovery. After your early boarding from Marlin Marina, grab a coffee or tea, a piece of fresh fruit and Danish Pastry and settle in and breathe in the morning ocean breeze as you sail to one of two snorkel and dive destinations. From there, explore the ocean's brilliant fish and coral reefs - just step right off the boat where the coral comes to just under a metre from the surface and just float and observe as the reef puts on a show for you! The first snorkel and dive site is the fascinating ‘Wonder Wall’, located on the outer edge of Upolu Reef. Enjoy snorkelling on the top of the wall for easy viewing of all the marine life and coral. Sign-up for the optional, certified or introductory guided dive, encountering a huge variety of aquatic flora and fauna, including hard and soft corals, giant clams, fans, turtles and a vast assortment of colourful tropical fish as you descend and meander along the side of the wall. Enjoy the complimentary Glass bottom Boat and Adventure Drift Snorkel Tours, where the passionate and knowledgeable crew will mesmerise you with all the interesting reef facts and relationships! At the stunning Upolu Coral Cay Reef, learn about graceful, blue-spotted stingrays, tenacious green sea turtles, bright damsel fish, and other amazing creatures that call this reef their home, as you observe them from a glass bottom boat. You’ll then have the chance to see these inquisitive creatures up close, while snorkelling within the incredibly clear, turquoise water. On some low tide days, you will even have the opportunity to actually stand on the Cay in the middle of the ocean! If the conditions on the day do not allow this, you will still enjoy this stunning location we call our "Aquarium" In between visiting these two sites, enjoy a smorgasbord lunch fit for a king. Savour smoked salmon, prawns, three types of cold meat, a chicken platter, three fresh salads and a variety of breads. After a relaxed six hours of diving and snorkelling, spend the trip home indulging in even more delicious food, arriving back at Cairns at around 4:30 PM. A reef experience and "feel good day" all in the one tour - an absolute "must do" reef experience!

This was hands down one of the best tour experiences we’ve ever had! From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew made us feel welcome, safe, and completely taken care of. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and full of knowledge about the reef and marine life. You could really tell they loved what they do—and it made all the difference. The scuba diving experience was absolutely phenomenal. As beginner level divers and snorkelers, we were a bit nervous, but the instructors were patient, clear, and made sure we felt confident before heading under. Once we were in the water, it was like entering another world—colorful coral, vibrant fish, even a sea turtle! I The food was way beyond our expectations. From the fresh pastries and fruit in the morning to the gourmet-style buffet lunch (hello, smoked salmon and prawns!), every bite was top quality. And they kept us refreshed throughout the day with snacks, tea, and drinks. Special shoutout to Tom, Anna, and Luke—you were amazing

Highly recommended experience! The staff were all super friendly and full of positive energy, always smiling and polite! The food and snacks they provided were also really good. I went diving twice on this trip. Since I just got my certification and I’m still getting the hang of neutral buoyancy, I was really thankful that Paul kept an eye on me. He made me feel safe and comfortable, so I could just relax and enjoy the dive. We saw turtles, clownfish, and beautiful coral, such an unforgettable experience! Big thanks to our diving guide Paul, he was amazing!
