Embark on a day trip from Cairns to Moore Reef aboard Sunlover’s comfortable catamaran, where a purpose-built activity platform floats in a calm coral lagoon just 90 minutes from shore. This all-inclusive reef tour gives you the flexibility to explore at your own pace — whether you’re snorkelling, observing underwater life, or just relaxing on deck. Return to Cairns like a rock star on a 25 minute scenic helicopter flight.

What You’ll Do

  • Snorkel in a sheltered lagoon: The large platform has many entry points into the water making it easy to get in and out, with stair access and lifeguards on duty.  

  • Stay dry if you prefer: Use the semi-submersible, glass-bottom boat, or underwater observatory to view the reef without diving in. 

  • Enjoy family-friendly fun: Kids (and the young at heart) can splash in an enclosed ocean pool or take a ride down a 30-metre spiral waterslide that empties into the sea.  

  • Learn from the experts: Marine biologists provide fish-feeding presentations and talk you through the reef ecosystem.

  • Scenic Helicopter Flight: Stunning scenic helicopter flight departing from the pontoon arriving back to Cairns.
