So for those looking for a smaller group Great Barrier tour in Cairns that means our boat has a lot less people and a highly personalised reef trip for our day guests.

Check in is directly on the boat, a large spacious catamaran in the Cairns Marlin Marina on A finger at 7:30am.

You will be welcomed not only by the friendly crew but also the delicious smell of bacon and eggs cooking on the on board BBQ for your welcome breakfast in a bun.

Settle down with your complimentary egg & bacon breakfast roll in the air-conditioned saloon or out on the sundeck in one of the oversized padded sun lounges.

The on board bar will be open selling snacks, non-alcoholic drinks and will have complimentary natural seasickness tablets available (stronger medication available for purchase).

The crew will be handing out medical questionairre forms for both scuba diving and snorkelling, some conditions and medications may prevent you from scuba diving so it’s best to ask your Tour Specialist consultant about this at the time of booking and take note when booking on line and read the questionairre.

During the 90 minute journey to the outer reef you will be informed of the day’s itinerary including the free scuba diving briefings for both introductory and certified divers, the free snorkelling guidelines and equipment demonstrations including a Marine Biologists presentation which is a great introduction to the reef and marine life.
