SUNLOVER CRUISES
Join Sunlover Cruises for a memorable trip to their Outer Barrier Reef pontoon at Moore Reef, and enjoy the many activities available.

What makes it Great?
  • Great for families
  • Relaxed 10am departure
  • Glass bottomed boat tour
  • Semi Submersible vessel tour
  • Marine life touch tank
  • Many activities included
  • Enclosed kids pool
  • Chef prepared lunch

Enjoy morning tea and coffee whilst learning about the wonders of the reef, as Sunlovers Specialised Reef Naturalists present an informative talk. This is a great opportunity to learn about the wonders you are about to see, and with some extra knowledge appreciate just how incredible the reef really is.

Take a guided snorkel expedition or simply explore the reef by yourself, under the watchful eyes of the trained lifeguards. Sunlover Cruises snorkeling area is fully enclosed for your safety, with rest and view stations.

Small children can also enjoy the safety of an enclosed pool area. The kids can swim in a safe, enclosed environment and still get to experience the Great Barrier Reef, as fish can swim inside the enclosure.

If you prefer a reef experience without getting wet, Sunlover offers both the semi-submersible and glass bottom boat tour, a marine touch tank and an underwater theatre to view the fish feeding. This is included in the cost.

A delicious chef prepared lunch is served at the pontoon and features fresh seafood, hot dishes, salads and fresh tropical fruits.

Before leaving the reef fish feeding will be conducted for your enjoyment from the back of the pontoon. You can view the feed from either the deck or the underwater observatory. This is a wonderful way to experience the unique creatures of the reef up close and personal.

The tour departs Cairns at 10am and arrives back in Cairns at 5:30pm.

Inclusions:

  • Fast air-conditioned catamaran
  • 4-5 hours at the reef
  • Morning and Afternoon tea
  • Marine presentation
  • All snorkelling equipment
  • Snorkelling enclosure
  • Glass bottom boat tours
  • Semi Submersible tours
  • Fully enclosed kids pool
  • On-board touch tank
  • Underwater observatory
  • Fish feeding presentation
  • Showers and change rooms
  • Delicious chef-prepared lunch
  • Full bar facilities

Sunlover Cruises offers a fantastic option for a shorter day and to experience the best of both worlds: the reef from above and below!

Fly/Cruise OR Cruise/Fly - A picturesque heli flight from Cairns over tropical rainforest, the turquoise waters of the Great Barrier Reef, landing at the Outer Reef pontoon at Moore Reef or choose to depart the pontoon by helicopter flight back to Cairns.
