About this tour
Combine two of the Great Barrier Reef's most visited spots in a single nine-hour expedition. The catamaran departs for Moore Reef, where you'll snorkel, ride the waterslide, and explore via semi-submersible and glass-bottom boat before heading to Fitzroy Island for lunch and beach time. The reef section suits all fitness levels, with optional extras like helmet diving and guided snorkels available for an additional fee. Fitzroy Island offers self-guided rainforest walks, kayaking, and visits to the turtle centre if you want to stay active, or simply rest on the sand.

What to expect
You'll board an air-conditioned catamaran early morning for the cruise to Moore Reef. Once there, snorkel in shallow coral gardens or use the glass-bottom boat and underwater observatory if you prefer staying dry. The waterslide and spacious sundeck offer downtime between activities. Mid-afternoon, the boat heads to Fitzroy Island, where a buffet lunch awaits at Zephyrs restaurant. Afterwards, wander the national park walking trails at your own pace, swim from the beaches, or simply relax. The semi-submersible tour operates subject to wind conditions.
