The Tour Your day starts with an early morning courtesy transfer from Cairns or Cairns Northern Beaches located accommodation. Transfer to the Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns to check-in with Reef Magic Cruises to depart the Cairns Marinas at 9.00am. Cruise from Cairns onboard a fast, modern and stable catamaran to Reef Magic's Marine World Pontoon, located at Moore Reef on the Outer Barrier Reef.
