Ocean Free
is a beautiful 63ft schooner, which sails daily to tropical "Green Island" on the Great Barrier Reef. This is the only boat operating out of Cairns to offer a personalised reef, sail and island experience all in the one tour.A private mooring just 1km off the island at "Pinnacle Reef " is where you will spend over four hours giving plenty of time to snorkel, complete 2 dives, have lunch, explore the island or just laze on the white sandy beach.
After leaving the marina you can assist with the hoisting of the sails, and after an introductory dive brief - you can just kick back and enjoy the trip to the reef. For those wishing to dive, the paperwork and briefs are completed on the journey out there, so on arrival at Pinnacle Reef you are ready to dive!
Green Island and Pinnacle Reef are highly protected areas with no fishing allowed; therefore the fish life is extremely abundant and quite amazing. On mooring you will be met by "Oscar" the Chinaman and his mates - the schools of spangled emperors, yellow tailed fuseliers, spanish mackerel, batfish to name just a few.
Scuba Diving
Ocean Free takes your enjoyment and safety of diving very seriously. Your personalised crew specialises in first time divers with a high ratio of dive instructor to diver 1:3 to maximum your experience and enjoyment. All certified dives include a dive guide, let the crew really show you the reef!
Following the morning's snorkelling and diving, enjoy a smorgasbord lunch of tropical salads and cold meats, after which transfers to the island begin - look out for turtles on the way!
Time spent between the reef and island is flexible to ensure that you get what you want out of the day.
You have the option to:
- Spend the rest of the time on Green Island.
- Spend an hour on Green Island and return to the boat to do more snorkelling/diving on the reef.
- Remain on the boat...The choice is yours!
On Green Island:
- Wander along the beautiful white beach at Green Island.
- Visit Marineland Melanesia.
- Grab an ice-cream or just laze on the tropical beach.
- Walk across or around Green Island, view the bird life and vegetation.
The journey home is definitly something to look forward to...
Enjoy a glass of wine, tropical fruit, cake and a cheese platter as you sail home into the sunset (wind prevailing).
