Day One:  Reef Magic, Marine World

Reef Magic's "Marine World" is a two level stable pontoon based at Moore Reef.  The Marine World site has been hand picked for its superior water clarity, biological diversity and overall quality of marine life. It is without doubt one of the most beautiful reef locations available anywhere in Australia and perfect for snorkellers. 

With 5 full hours at the reef and just 90 minutes travel time, The all-weather Marine World platform offers a full range of facilities and activities on-board.  Snorkel in the sheltered coral lagoon, go scuba diving (no experience necessary) or join the Marine Biologist on a Guided Snorkel safari.

Departs Daily :

• Check in from 8:15am at the Reef Fleet Terminal, 1 Spence Street
• Daily at 9:00am from the Cairns Marlin Jetty returning at 5:00pm.
• Hotel Transfers are not included, however can be added at an additional fee

Your Day: 

08:00-08:30:  Make your way to the Reef Fleet Terminal and check in at the Reef Magic

09:00:  Depart Marlin Jetty Cairns.  Travel time is only 90 minutes direct from Cairns on a fast stable motor catamaran

10:30:  Arrive at Marine World on the Outer Reef - Reef duration: 5 hours.  Lunch is served and Reef Activities commence. Crew will provide some handy tips on the correct use of snorkelling equipment and then help fit you with a mask, snorkel and fins so you can take to the water with confidence (all included in the cruise price).

Included in your day is also a range of activities and facilities for the non-swimmer or for those simply wanting to take time out of the water and experience the reef from a different perspective.  Through large viewing windows Reef Magic's air conditioned Semi-submersible provides a divers perspective of the reef without getting wet.  Glide through coral gardens & along the edge of coral drop offs while spotting colourful reef fish, schools of larger Trevally, Red Bass, Hump Headed Parrot Fish and maybe even a turtle or friendly reef shark.

Similar to the experience of snorkelling the open-air Glass Bottom Boat is smaller and more manoeuvrable than the Semi-Submersible allowing your guide to hover over beautiful coral gardens, giant clams, schools of colourful reef fish and more!  Tours last around 30 minutes and include a running commentary.

Marine World underwater reef viewing observatory is open for you to walk through at any time of the day. Watch the Introductory Scuba Divers head off from the moon pool.
