Discover the magic of the Great Barrier Reef with a full-day cruise from Cairns aboard Reef Magic’s fast, stable catamaran. Depart directly from Cairns Marina and enjoy a smoother ride and shorter travel time, giving you more hours to spend at the reef.
Your destination is Reef Magic’s spacious, all-weather activity platform, designed for every activity level. Snorkel in a sheltered coral lagoon, join a marine biologist on a guided snorkel safari, or take the plunge with a scuba dive — no experience necessary. For a unique underwater adventure without getting your hair wet, opt for a Helmet Dive and walk along the ocean floor.
If you’d prefer to stay dry, admire the reef from a glass-bottom boat or relax on the sun deck while soaking up the tropical warmth. A delicious buffet lunch is included, giving you the perfect break between adventures. With flexible activities, expert guides, and stunning reef scenery, Reef Magic offers one of Cairns’ most versatile and memorable reef experiences.
Sample Itinerary
The Marine World Pontoon is amazing. There are fish, clams and other sealife amongst the impressive reef. Snorkel is must and the tour guides and crew go above and beyond.
nice ride out to the reef, great equipment for the day, great food and so much to do!
It was a good experience
They took participant safety very seriously
Well organized – friendly and helpful
They went out of the way to make sure everyone got something out of the trip. The views from the chopper were amazing
Highly recommend the team
Everything we did (semi-sub, snorkeling, glass bottom boat, and the educational opportunities) was excellent! We weren’t bored for a second, always had something to do and learn and see. Great for all ages!
Beautiful reef, amazing hosts and facilities, great fun for our whole family with a variety of activities!
Very friendly staff made us feel welcome and comfortable and shared interesting education on the reef’s biological and cultural history. Plenty of room on the pontoon and in the water to snorkel.
Such a great day! The waters getting to the reef was gnarly but still a great day! They gave out sea sickness pills early on, no one in my group got sick. We had a great day snorkeling in the boundary area, I liked having the roped off area, others didn’t, but it was plenty big, we saw lots of fish, and gorgeous coral. Spring suits offered, snorkeling gear was great. I’ve already recommended this excursion to other travelers before getting home.
