Moore Reef Pontoon Day Cruise – Reef Magic

8 hours

Enjoy up to five hours at Moore Reef with snorkelling, glass-bottom boat and semi-submersible tours, an underwater observatory and buffet lunch included.

Give yourself time to try several reef activities at Reef Magic’s Moore Reef pontoon. This Cairns day cruise provides up to five hours at the platform, so you can alternate swims with reef viewing and breaks.

More than one way to see the reef

Snorkel from a lowered platform with equipment and instruction provided. Included glass-bottom boat and semi-submersible tours let you see the reef while staying dry, and the underwater observatory offers another perspective from the pontoon itself.

Presentations and fish feeding add information about the reef, while a hot and cold buffet lunch and refreshments are included. This range is useful for groups whose members want different amounts of time in the water.

Guided snorkel tours, scuba diving, SeaTREK helmet diving and helicopter flights are paid extras. Check eligibility, timing and availability before adding an activity; the standard fare already includes several reef-viewing options.
