5 hours 30 mins

Visit one outer reef site with up to two hours of snorkelling. Equipment, instruction and a guided snorkel are included, with introductory diving and lunch available as extras.

Focus on one outer reef location with Tusa’s half-day snorkelling cruise from Cairns. The captain chooses a site around Saxon or Hastings Reefs according to conditions, with up to two hours at the reef.

A shorter reef day with support

Equipment, safety briefings and guided snorkelling are included. A lowered platform provides water access, with flotation devices available and lifeguard supervision at the site. Between activities, relax in the air-conditioned interior or on the exterior decks.

This is an open-water trip, so discuss any concerns about swimming ability or participation with the operator before booking. There is no glass-bottom boat or semi-submersible alternative.

One introductory dive can be added at extra cost, subject to eligibility and medical requirements. A lunchbox can also be pre-ordered separately. The base booking should not be treated as including either of these extras.
