Jump aboard the ‘Ocean Freedom’ for a full six hours of snorkelling pleasure in two of the Great Barrier Reef’s most coveted areas, as well as an amazing seafood smorgasbord lunch! The sparkling clear waters of Upolu Cay Reef will allow you to see what makes the Great Barrier Reef one of the world’s most popular dive locations. You’ll enjoy a snorkelling tour and tuition with a friendly marine naturalist, as well as a reef talk and a tour in a glass-bottom boat.
As soon as you step foot on the Ocean Freedom – a super-fast, luxury 20m CAT – you’ll feel welcomed and pampered. With your early boarding from Marlin Marina (with prior check in at 7:15am from Reef Fleet Terminal, Cairns Marina), you’ll get to breathe in the morning ocean breeze as you’re taken out to one of two dive destinations.
At the stunning Upolu Coral Cay Reef, you’ll learn about the 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.
The second dive site is the fascinating ‘Wonder Wall’, located on the Outer Edge of Upolu Reef. Here, you will enjoy a 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 topical fish.
In between visiting these two sites, you’ll enjoy a smorgasbord lunch fit for a king, including 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, you’ll spend the trip home indulging in even more delicious food, arriving back at Cairns at around 4:15pm.
