Detailed Description
Your day starts with a 90-minute fast catamaran cruise to Reef Magic’s activity platform. The platform’s stable, all-weather base allows visitors to explore the reef in comfort. Snorkel, scuba dive, helmet dive or stay dry and visit the underwater reef observatory for an informative talk from a local marine expert. The semi-submersible is a great family activity providing views of the reef from below the waterline without setting foot in the water and includes live commentary.
At your allotted time you will see the reef from our perspective soaring above the Great Barrier Reef with a 10-minute helicopter scenic flight. Your experience concludes with a 90-minute fast catamaran cruise back to Cairns where your day began
