Absolutely stunning day out on Moore Reef with the family. The crew were very helpful. Buffet lunch was reasonable. The trip out there was long, hence the 4 stars, but worth it when you get there.

We had a wonderful experience with Sunlover reef cruises from Cairns to Moore Reef. My family enjoyed the snorkelling - 4 hours on the pontoon gave us plenty of time to snorkel and enjoy the other activities. The boat ride was long, but we kept the children entertained with card games. Highly recommend for a fun family day out!

Amazing experience for the whole family, young and old.

Awesome helpful and friendly crew, great communication, no hard sell on extras. Good food. Plenty of seating space. Wonderful experience snorkelling the GBR seeing so many different fish and types of coral. Easy to use equipment. Informative glass bottom boat guide.

What you can expect

Enjoy a wonderful balance of Great Barrier Reef scenery and convenience with a tour from Cairns to an activity platform on the reef for several hours of fun in the sun and sea. On this Cairns to pontoon full-day trip, you'll have approximately four hours to explore the marine life and coral reefs of the Outer Great Barrier Reef from the Moore Reef pontoon. Be amazed by the underwater beauty as you snorkel, slide down the onboard waterslide, or join a glass-bottom boat and semi-submersible tour. To recharge, you'll be treated to a delicious buffet lunch before diving back into the adventure.

Heading to the platform, you'll travel in luxury onboard a modern and spacious air-conditioned catamaran, which departs daily from the Reef Fleet Terminal in the centre of Cairns. With all snorkelling equipment and necessary inclusions required, you'll have everything you'll need for a memorable day of exploring Australia's greatest natural wonder.

Simply an Amazing Experience, words don't give justice to how amazing the day was.

Absolutely amazing, super friendly crew, great commentary and communication on the boat. Great food, good clean equipment to use to snorkel, amazing experience to snorkel on the GBR. Loved the glass bottom boat too, helpful crew to get on and off, helping with the aged Mother in law.
