Overview
Experience the best of both worlds with this combined Great Barrier Reef cruise and scenic helicopter flight.
Your adventure begins when you depart from Cairns on board our luxury cruiser that is known as one of the fastest trips to the outer edge of The Great Barrier Reef. This means you'll spend more time in the water and less time travelling.
Once we arrive at the outer reef, enjoy a range of activities including snorkelling, glass bottom boat and semi-sub tours as well as the option to scuba dive if you wish (additional extra cost to be paid on the day). We will visit 2 reef locations to allow you to see as much of the reef as possible.
Enjoy a delicious lunch including an Aussie BBQ of prawns, fish, steak, sausages as well as tropical salads and pastas. There is also plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits, a complimentary glass of wine as well as cheese and a tasty fruit platter.
Your day concludes with an awesome helicopter scenic flight over five reef locations before arriving back in Cairns.
