2 Overview
Cairns Great Barrier Reef: Cruise/Fly Full Day Tour by Evolution Cruise, plus Cairns Hotels Transfers
Full-Day Reef Cruise onboard EVOLUTION
Your Great Barrier Reef day tour begins by boarding award-winning superyacht Evolution and being met by the professional and expert dive crew who will make sure you are comfortable and ready for an adventure-filled day.
Relax onboard your 35-metre luxury superyacht for the day, as you cruise from Cairns to two exclusive outer Great Barrier Reef sites. Guests enjoy the longest amount of time on the reef in a day tour, with a total of five hours on the outer reef visiting stunning and diverse reefs such as Norman, Saxon and Hastings. These locations are chosen for their exceptional coral density and prolific marine life.
Upon arrival at your first reef location, either Saxon or Norman Reef, it's time to snorkel and dive (at own expense)! Hop in the water with your provided equipment and discover the underwater world full of multicoloured fish, coral, and other marine life. Instruction is provided for beginners, and your knowledgeable dive crew are on hand to encourage and help you if need.
During your time on the reef, you will enjoy a BBQ lunch prepared onboard with fresh fish, steak, a variety of salads, and prawns. (Menu is reference only and subject to change without notice)
At the second reef location, North Hastings Reef, you can snorkel again.
Finally, from Hastings Reef, you will board a luxury 6-seater helicopter where you will enjoy a 25-minute scenic helicopter flight over the Reef and Sand Cays back to Cairns.
Take to the air from the exclusive helicopter pontoon at Hastings Reef and enjoy a spectacular scenic flight onboard a luxury aircraft. Experience the sheer size and beauty of the Great Barrier Reef and gain a true appreciation of one of the seven natural wonders of the world. Sightings of manta rays, turtles and other marine life are not uncommon on the reef scenic flight and if flying in the winter months there is even a chance of spotting whales.
