Begin your adventure with a convenient complimentary pickup from your hotel accommodation in Cairns CBD for the short transfer to Cairns Marlin Marina.

Those making their own way to the departure point need to be at A Finger, Cairns Marlin Marina by 7.30am for check-in. The friendly crew will welcome you onboard Reef Experience, a purpose-built 24-meter twin hull aluminium catamaran that will take you to two different reef sites.

Complimentary tea and coffee is available all day (when the vessel in not in motion) so grab a cuppa and settle in.

As you cruise toward the first reef site, enjoy a delicious breakfast bacon and egg roll freshly prepared by the onboard cook (dietary requirements catered for). Learn about the marine life you can expect to see during your time at the Great Barrier Reef from a resident marine biologist who will provide an informative presentation during your journey.

Upon arrival at the first reef site, enjoy a 1 x included scuba dive (certified or 20-min introductory dive for beginners) or snorkel over the picturesque coral formations. Whether you are snorkelling or diving for the first time, the passionate crew is dedicated to making your day safe, fun, and memorable.

Once back on board after your morning session, indulge in a freshly prepared lunch with BBQ meat and vegetables and a variety of healthy, tasty salads, perfect for re-charging your batteries in time for your arrival at the second reef site.

Once here, take advantage of unlimited snorkelling or choose to partake in an optional additional scuba dive and discover more of the underwater wonderland.

When it's time to re-board the vessel, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy a complimentary glass of wine with cheese and crackers as you cruise back and return to Cairns Marina.

Returning to Cairns at approximately 4.30pm, those with hotel transfers will meet their driver where they were dropped off.
