All snorkeling equipment and instruction is provided and you’ll be able to opt for an introductory &/or certified diving experience (extra cost), and guided snorkel tour, or both.

After an 8am departure from Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns, you’ll have the chance to enjoy the luxurious facilities on-board the 29-metre long custom designed luxury catamaran. By the time you’ve had a quick look around the spacious decks on this extremely comfortable catamaran, you’ll be at the first dive site of either Thetford, Milln, Flynn or Pellowe Reef.

When you’re prepped and ready to step foot into the warm, clear waters of the Reef, you’ll be able to take advantage of the hydraulic dive and snorkel platform, so you’ll never have trouble entering or exiting the water. Once you’re submerged, you will be completely awestruck by the beauty of this underwater wonderland. Colourful staghorn and plate corals, giant clams, angelfish, damselfish and butterfly fish are just a few of the amazing things living in these reefs.

You can enjoy warm freshwater showers between snorkels and dives, a relax on the sweeping deck or a drink at the bar as you reminisce about the sights you’ve seen. Lunch will be a delicious hot or cold smorgasbord, while morning and afternoon tea offers delights such as cakes, muffins, biscuits, focaccias, cheese and crackers. This amazing adventure concludes at approximately 4:30pm, when the Silverswift will dock back at the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal.
