The Tour
An ideal for option for visitors who are short on time and wish to make the most of their stay in Cairns combing Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef in one day!

Transfer from Skyrail’s Caravonica terminal to the Cairns Heliport for an awesome scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef to an exclusive helipad landing at Hastings Reef to meet up with MV Osprey on the Outer Barrier Reef. Here you will enjoy lunch and a range of underwater activities including snorkeling and swimming as well as a semi-submersible coral viewing tour. Scuba Diving, either for the complete beginner or the experienced diver, is also available onboard.
For First Time Introductory Divers; after an in-depth briefing from expert dive staff, gear up and jump in the water for the thrill of a lifetime as you are guided through this amazing wonderland.
