Leaving the Cairns Marlin Marina at around 8.00am you will be cruising out to your first snorkelling location Upolu Reef which has a sand cay that is visible dependant on the tides and weather on the ocean at the time.
Guests can get off the boat and choose to snorkel from the sand cay or of the back of the boat into the alluring turquoise waters.
Whilst at Upolu Reef all of your guests can take a ride around the reef systems in the glass bottom boat with the Marine Interpreter pointing out the species of fishes, hard and soft corals and talking about the reef and its inhabitants.
The changing colours of the blue water here will have all of your charter guests on a constant high and no doubt they will be planning on bringing back their own friends and family after visiting such a spectacular location.
After enjoying Upolu Reef it’s time for the piece de resistance of all diving and snorkelling destinations, the Wonder Wall!
