Reef Day Trips
The Great Barrier Reef is nature's playground and there are many ways for you to enjoy it. Day trips can include Cairns reef tours, Port Douglas reef tours, sea planes, idyllic sandy cays, coral islands and floating pontoons. Whether you want to get in the water and dive or snorkel, fly over in a Scenic Reef Flight, or for non swimmers you can simply relax on a Outer Reef Platform and take a glass bottom boat tour or semi-submersible boat tour, there is something for everyone. Cairns Reef Day Trips generally access our local Outer Great Barrier Reef including reef locations such as Norman Reef, Saxon Reef, Hastings Reef, Flynn Reef, Thetford Reef or Milln Reef just to name a few. Port Douglas Reef Day Trips generally access the more Northern parts of the Reef including Agincourt Reef, Undine Reef, Opal Reef or Tongue Reef. We are happy to help you choose the most suitable Outer Barrier Reef Tour for you based on your personal requirements. Please enquire with us for honest local advice.
