Your Great Barrier Reef adventure begins at the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal. Check-in is seamless, and soon you'll step aboard the MV Big Cat—a 35-meter catamaran designed for comfort. Find your perfect spot in the air-conditioned lounge, out on the sun deck, grab a drink from the bar, and get ready for a stunning cruise.
A scenic 45-minute journey across the turquoise waters brings you to Green Island—a beautiful coral cay where lush rainforest meets the wonders of the Great Barrier Reef. Once you arrive, nearly five hours are yours to craft your perfect tropical escape. Will you stroll the peaceful boardwalk beneath towering palms, take a refreshing dip in the ocean, or simply find a patch of sand to soak up the Queensland sun?
How will you connect with the world-famous reef today? Your pre-booked choice ensures you experience it your way:
Snorkelling: Grab your included gear and step straight off the beach into a world of colourful fish and coral gardens. It's easy, accessible, and instantly rewarding.
Glass-bottom boat: Prefer to stay dry? Glide effortlessly over the reef, gazing down at the coral formations and marine life while your guide shares fascinating insights.
Semi-submarine: Immerse yourself without getting wet! Descend below the waterline for a diver's perspective, looking out through panoramic windows at the underwater spectacle.
Guided snorkel safari: Join expert guides to explore prime snorkelling spots, perfect for boosting confidence or seeing even more diverse marine life.
Buffet lunch: Add a buffet lunch featuring hot and cold selections.
Back on the 'Big Cat' between adventures, you'll find plenty of space to relax. Since no lunch is included, you have maximum flexibility. Pack your favourite snacks and lunch, or purchase drinks and light refreshments from the licensed onboard bar whenever you feel like it. The friendly crew is always available for assistance, gear fitting, and local tips.
As the afternoon winds down, you'll board the 'Big Cat' for the relaxing cruise back to Cairns. Arrive in the late afternoon with sun-kissed skin, maybe some salt in your hair, and a camera full of incredible reef and rainforest moments.
