Glide over living coral gardens and kaleidoscopic marine life at the UNESCO-listed Great Barrier Reef — the world's largest living structure and the ultimate bucket-list aquatic encounter from Cairns.
What to expect
Board the sleek catamaran from Cairns Marina (a short transfer from Yorkeys Knob) and power out to the Outer Barrier Reef in under an hour. At each of three exclusive mooring sites, slip into gin-clear water above staghorn coral forests alive with sea turtles, reef sharks, and brilliant parrotfish. Marine naturalists narrate underwater wonders, while the sundeck and gourmet buffet lunch await topside between dives.
Good to know
Pre-book well in advance — Silverswift sells out daily. Transfer from Yorkeys Knob to Cairns Marina takes approximately 15 minutes by taxi or rideshare. Departs Cairns Marina ~8:00 AM, returns ~5:00 PM; confirm all-aboard time with your ship and allow ample buffer.
