What you can expect
Step foot on a super-fast, luxury 20m CAT, feeling welcomed and pampered, and embark on an ocean-filled journey of discovery.
After your early boarding from Marlin Marina, grab a coffee or tea, a piece of fresh fruit and Danish Pastry and settle in and breathe in the morning ocean breeze as you sail to one of two snorkel and dive destinations. From there, explore the ocean's brilliant fish and coral reefs - just step right off the boat where the coral comes to just under a metre from the surface and just float and observe as the reef puts on a show for you!
The first snorkel and dive site is the fascinating ‘Wonder Wall’, located on the outer edge of Upolu Reef. Enjoy snorkelling on the top of the wall for easy viewing of all the marine life and coral. Sign-up for the optional, certified or introductory guided dive, encountering a huge variety of aquatic flora and fauna, including hard and soft corals, giant clams, fans, turtles and a vast assortment of colourful tropical fish as you descend and meander along the side of the wall. Enjoy the complimentary Glass bottom Boat and Adventure Drift Snorkel Tours, where the passionate and knowledgeable crew will mesmerise you with all the interesting reef facts and relationships!
At the stunning Upolu Coral Cay Reef, learn about graceful, blue-spotted stingrays, tenacious green sea turtles, bright damsel fish, and other amazing creatures that call this reef their home, as you observe them from a glass bottom boat. You’ll then have the chance to see these inquisitive creatures up close, while snorkelling within the incredibly clear, turquoise water. On some low tide days, you will even have the opportunity to actually stand on the Cay in the middle of the ocean! If the conditions on the day do not allow this, you will still enjoy this stunning location we call our “Aquarium”
In between visiting these two sites, enjoy a smorgasbord lunch fit for a king. Savour smoked salmon, prawns, three types of cold meat, a chicken platter, three fresh salads and a variety of breads. After a relaxed six hours of diving and snorkelling, spend the trip home indulging in even more delicious food, arriving back at Cairns at around 4:30 PM. A reef experience and “feel good day” all in the one tour - an absolute “must do” reef experience!
