Full Day Reef Cruise and 10 Minute Helicopter Scenic Flight

About this tour

Spend a full day aboard a luxury 35-metre superyacht exploring two pristine outer reef sites on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. You'll have five hours in the water—snorkelling or diving, depending on your package—plus a ten-minute helicopter flight to see the reef from above. The day wraps with a cooked lunch onboard and wine on the return. Check-in is 7.15am at Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns; the boat departs at 8am.

Highlights

• Two exclusive outer reef locations with five hours water time
• Ten-minute aerial view of the reef by helicopter
• Freshly prepared BBQ lunch with fish, prawns, steak, salads
• Introductory or certified dive available (dive packages only)
• All snorkel and dive gear, plus sun suits, included

What to expect

You'll board at dawn and motor out to the first reef site, where you can enter the water at your own pace with all equipment provided. The crew briefs you on conditions and safety. Between reef stops, there's time to dry off, eat, and relax on deck. Around midday, enjoy a substantial lunch with wine. Later, you'll board the helicopter in small groups for your scenic flight—a surreal perspective of the coral formations you've just explored underwater. The return journey includes cheese, crackers, and a glass of wine. Expect a full, unhurried day; you're not rushed between sites.
