Joing this unforgettable trip to the Great Barrier Reef, where you'll make new mates along the way. Our destination, Upolu Reef, is a beautiful location which lies at the edge of the Outer Barrier Reef and is teeming with a large variety of interesting marine life and a beautiful array of corals. In the relatively sheltered lagoon, you will see a multitude of giant clams, turtles, sea stars and reef fish. This offers a perfect snorkelling or diving experience in warm clear protected waters. A snorkel guide is available at the first site they will give you a fun, informative and interactive introduction to the day's exploration. You choose freely between snorkelling, diving, or just relaxing on the bownets - look out for dolphins, turtles or even whales (seasonal) (diving will incur a surcharge). Start boarding at 7:30 am on the D Finger (through the gate to the end of the finger) and depart the Marlin Marina at around 7:45. We travel at approximately 7-9 knots with both the sails up and the motors running, giving us just over 2 hours of steaming time each way, this is also depending on the wind strength/direction and tides. Arrive back in Cairns harbour between 16:30-16:45.
