Your Day
Enjoy a 1.5-hour scenic cruise on an air-conditioned catamaran to the Sunlover Moore Reef Pontoon located on the Outer Great Barrier Reef. The pontoon is well-equipped, providing all the necessary snorkeling gear.
This is a family freindly Great Barrier Reef tour offering children a safe ocean pool and 30-meter spiral waterslide. For those who prefer to stay dry, semi-submersible and glass-bottom boat tours or the underwater observatory offer stunning views of the reef's vibrant coral and diverse marine life, including green sea turtles.
After a morning on the Outer Reef the tour continues to Fitzroy Island, where a delicious lunch is served on board the vessel. Spend a leisurely three hours in this idyllic tropical paradise. Fitzroy Island offers a rainforest landscape accented with granite outcrops, and coral-fringed beaches. Snorkeling equipment is included.

Our highlight was definitely going out on the reef with Ezzy the marine biologist. She was knowledgeable and enthusiastic and made everyone feel at ease! Thanks so much!
Took my kids and grandchildren ages 6mths through to 32. They catered for everyone and we had a fantastic day
