Expect to explore up to 3 different dive and snorkel sites in the heart of the Barrier Reef. Turtles, reef sharks, and manta rays are regular favourites, so don’t forget your GoPro! Aboard, you’ll find a legendary crew that can’t do enough to make sure you’re having a great time. When you’re not in the water, you can relax out on deck and top up the tan or cruise around inside in the air-conditioned cabins. You’ll be amazed at the onboard facilities on offer (It’s literally like a floating hotel).
In the evening, we recommend either chilling out on the deck and getting into a bit of stargazing. Alternatively, if you’re chasing some more adventure, then get involved with ‘Sharks In The Dark’. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to snorkel at night with the friendly reef sharks. Take your reef experience to the next level and spend 2 full days on the Outer Great Barrier Reef. Escape the crowds, take your time, and explore more.
