This pontoon is strategically positioned and fully equipped to ensure that visitors of all ages and abilities can fully immerse themselves in the reef's beauty, featuring vibrant coral, captivating marine life, including turtles, and more.

Spend 2 hours on the reef participating in our complimentary activities, such as snorkelling, enjoying the unique Sunlover waterslide (the only waterslide on the Great Barrier Reef), exploring the underwater world through a glass-bottom boat, letting kids have fun in an enclosed ocean pool, visiting an underwater observatory, getting up close with marine creatures at a touch tank, and experiencing fish feeding. Additionally, you can explore the wonder of the Great Barrier Reef through our Seawalker Helmet Dive and Snorkel Safari Tour or witness it from a bird's-eye perspective during a helicopter scenic flight.

The journey continues with a visit to Fitzroy Island, where lunch will be served. This delightful afternoon stay in this beautiful tropical paradise is a favourite among Cairns locals. Fitzroy Island is 99% covered in lush Tropical Rainforest, complemented by granite outcrops, open woodlands, mangroves, and coral-fringed beaches. Additionally, we provide snorkel equipment as part of this tour.

Experience the best of both worlds effortlessly—the mesmerizing Great Barrier Reef and the serene beauty of Fitzroy Island, complete with a wide range of water activities—all in one single, unforgettable day.
