Plunge into the world's largest coral ecosystem aboard a luxury catamaran. Swim through kaleidoscopic coral gardens, drift alongside sea turtles, and witness biodiversity found nowhere else on Earth.
What to expect
Board a high-speed catamaran for a scenic 90-minute cruise to the outer Ribbon Reefs, arriving before day-trippers. Spend up to four hours across three snorkel zones, or opt for a guided scuba dive with a marine naturalist. A semi-submersible glass-bottom viewing chamber is available for non-swimmers. Return in the late afternoon with champagne and canapés as the reef recedes behind you.
Good to know
Departs Port Douglas or Cairns marina at 08:00; returns by 17:30 — well ahead of most all-aboard times. Pre-book certified-dive spots at least 48 hours ahead as they cap at 12 divers. Bring a rashguard; reef-safe sunscreen is provided on board.
