Board a superyacht
to the Outer Great Barrier Reef
Board Evolution, a 35-meter (120-foot) superyacht, at the Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns and cruise to the outermost edge of the Great Barrier Reef. Relax in the air-conditioned indoor lounge, on one of three spacious decks, or on the full-length sun lounge.
Snorkel at two outer reef sites

Visit two special protected zones on the Outer Great Barrier Reef and spend about 5 hours at the reef. Snorkeling and scuba equipment and Lycra/stinger suits are provided, so you can explore coral gardens and a wide range of marine life below the surface. A dive package includes one pre-booked dive, and extra dives can be added once on board.
For lunch, enjoy a BBQ prepared on board with steak, fish, prawns, salads and bread. Vegetarian, gluten-free, dairy-free and vegan options are available on request.
Fly over the reef for 10 minutes by helicopter

At the second reef, Hastings Reef, take off from the helipad for a 10-minute scenic flight. See the scale and colors of the coral reefs from above and look for marine life in its natural habitat. After landing, you rejoin the group on the boat.
Return to Cairns with a glass of wine

On the way back to Cairns, enjoy a glass of wine with cheese and biscuits. Unwind on the deck or in the lounge as you end the day.
※ The tour schedule may change or the helicopter flight may be canceled due to weather.
※ Sea turtles and other marine life live in the wild, so sightings are not guaranteed.
