Overview

Travel by air-conditioned catamaran from Cairns Marina to our Moore Reef Pontoon located on the Outer Great Barrier Reef, perfectly positioned and equipped for you to explore this reef that is teeming with colourful coral and fascinating fish.

Spend 4 hours exploring the reef by taking advantage of the free inclusions such as glass bottom boat tours, all snorkelling equipment, underwater observatory, fish feeding presentation, an enclosed ocean pool for kids and buffet lunch.
The pontoon also features an upper sundeck to relax in the sun and look out over the turquoise waters in between activities. This is where you'll find the waterslide - the only theme park waterslide on the reef!

Dial up the adventure and add on optional extras like include Introductory or Certified diving, Seawalker Helmet dive, Guided Snorkel Tour or even a Scenic helicopter flight.

Crew is very prepared and polite. Great experience. Safety is of high importance to this crew. Wonderful lunch buffet. (Note: They do not have towels for guest. Bring your own. They sell tea towels, along with other merchandise.)

You can’t miss this - the reef is incredible and the whole crew made it safe and easy to experience in all the ways available! It was even a rainy day but you didn’t notice when you were in the water or the glass bottom boat

The average rating has nothing to do with either the Barrier Reef (spectacular) or the staff (very helpful, courteous). More to do with the boat and the organizing of 'things'. There was a definite overlap between the feeding of the guests and the snorkeling. Quite confusing, frankly the folks who chose to snorkel first were left with little to eat afterwards. Also felt like the boat was old e.g. paint missing, carpets worn, etc. I would recommend this experience but probably on a newer boat.

The whole trip should’ve been canceled. The weather was awful. It was torrential rain. The ship was very rocky. Probably 3/4 of the ship was throwing up with puke bags. It was disgusting not impressed at all.

Wear your sunscreen!! This is a great trip to see lots of aquatic life along the reef. It’s about two hours from cairns to Moore reef and there is lots to see our on the reef and on the submerged viewing point on the boat was a highlight. We did the glass bottom boat tour as well and got to see even more up close with extra information. The water isn’t too cool so it’s not overly refreshing but less hot than outside can be.

Visiting the reef is always great, but the place wasn’t well maintained, the food wasn’t great, and the staff wasn’t super friendly. In my previous 2 visits to Cairn, I enjoyed the reef experience more with other companies.

Amazing reef, well organized, and personable staff. Helicopter ride back to Cairns was well worth it. It was fantastic

It was miserable. We were on the boat for over 6 hours and had 1 1/2 hours on the beach. We had to make 2 stops on the way out and 1 stop on the way back to pick up and drop off people. We had sausage on sliced bread for our lunch. It was pathetic. Please do not take this 1/2 day afternoon trip.

We traveled with our family, of which many are quite adventurous. We are not. Despite that, we had a great time on this tour. It is truly for anyone irrespective of your comfort level for getting in the ocean. Seeing the Great Barrier Reef was amazing!
