What you can expect

Begin your Great Barrier Reef adventure with an unforgettable scenic helicopter flight from Cairns to Moore Reef. Marvel at the beauty of the largest reef system in the world, as you soar above the turquoise lagoons and coral cays. Touch down on the floating pontoon, which is anchored in the middle of coral gardens and crystal-clear waters. Get ready for a day of exploration and relaxation, with around four hours to enjoy the included reef activities.

Whether you want to snorkel among colourful fish and coral, or glide across the water on a glass-bottom and semi-submersible boat tour, every moment offers a new perspective of this underwater paradise. You'll also get to enjoy the underwater observatory, cool off in the ocean pool, zip down the waterslide, and soak up the sun on the spacious deck. To top it off, a tropical buffet lunch is served onboard before you cruise back to Cairns, offering a leisurely end to a day of ocean adventure.
