Great Barrier Reef Tours, Cairns Snorkelling Tours, Great Adventures - Great Barrier Reef Adventure

The beauty of the Great Barrier Reef is yours to experience when you cruise aboard modern, comfortable high-speed catamarans to a first class multi-level pontoon. Situated on the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef, the pontoon features undercover seating and tables to enjoy a delicious buffet lunch, full bar facilities, sundeck, a swimming enclosure for children, change rooms with freshwater showers, and scuba diving facilities with a semi-submerged platform. You will be able to snorkel and dive amongst some of the most spectacular coral gardens and marine life diversity on the Great Barrier Reef.

Or if you choose to stay dry, you can still embrace the natural wonderland below in the underwater observatory or from the comfort of the semi-submersible submarine, which offers a full commentary.
