The speedy transfer time means you will have a huge 5 hours reef-time allowing you time for multiple water activities to get an up-close look at the incredible marine life that live in the planets most famous World Heritage Area. You will visit two outer reef locations on this reef cruise.

When you arrive at the second reef in the afternoon, Hastings Reef, you will get a quick briefing before you climb aboard a state-of-the-art helicopter, which takes you out over the ocean for a 10-minute scenic flight. Your incredible scenic flight will show you the immense scale of the reef. From the air, you can see how sea turtles, sharks, and whales all mingle among the incredible network of corals and cays.

Then it's time to re-board the luxurious super yacht. Take time to relax on the broad sundeck or gear up to dive into the warm waters of the Coral Sea to check out this vibrant world from beneath the waves. As you cruise back to Cairns, enjoy a complimentary glass of wine and a light snack as you toast to a fabulous day out on the Great Barrier Reef.
