Tour Description

Truly the ultimate Tropical North Queensland experience - two magical days exploring two of the worlds greatest natural wonders, the Great Barrier Reef and the tropical rainforests.

Day 1 - Great Barrier Reef Cruise to Moore Reef:

Day One - Discover the real reef as you join Sunlover Reef Cruises fast, air-conditioned catamaran to our large pontoon (floating platform) located at Moore Reef, on the outer edge of the Great Barrier Reef off Cairns. You can see and learn about the world's largest Bi-Valve (the Giant Clam), Clown Fish and their host Anemone, Giant Blue Starfish along with a myriad of other facts about the amazing corals and marine life you will only ever see on Queensland's Great Barrier Reef.

Take advantage of the free inclusions, snorkelling with all equipment provided, guided coral viewing from glass bottomed boat and semi-submersible, along with a sumptuous hot and cold buffet lunch featuring seafood.

Introductory and certified scuba diving, the world famous Seawalker® Platform Helmet Diving*, guided snorkel tours and deluxe helicopter scenic flights are optional tours available too. So whether you want to get wet or stay dry, there are numerous activities available for you to enjoy. Or simply just relax, sit back and marvel at the serenity.


Day 2 - Barron River Rafting:

Cairns in Tropical North Queensland is renowned for the Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage Rainforest. Without doubt it is Australia's extreme adventure capital - especially for white water rafting, which is one of the most exciting and fun way to discover the pristine rainforest. The Barron River is North Queensland’s most exciting half day tour. Feel the rush of white water rafting within the awesome wilderness of Australia’s tropical rainforests. Experience a half day of white-water rafting with R’n’R where you will negotiate the Grade 3 famous “Rooster-Tail” rapid and paddle through the majestic scenery of the Barron Gorge National Park. Our half day rafting option is great for groups, incentives and beginners and combines readily with other popular North Queensland adventure tours like hot air ballooning.
