Explore all the hidden jewels of the Great Barrier Reef. Three and four night small ship cruises allow you to swim, snorkel and SCUBA dive amid the fish and corals in the clear tropical waters. Or you can join the marine biologist aboard the glass bottom boat, stroll golden sandy beaches on remote coral cays or visit secluded tropical islands and ancient rainforests, while on-board experts interpret the natural wonders of the reef, rainforest and island habitats. They will show you the reef most visitors never see, and you can choose to be as adventurous or as relaxed as you please.
Cruises include onboard accommodation, all meals, tea and coffee available at all times, use of snorkelling equipment, flotation vests and wetsuits, guided glass-bottom boat coral viewing and snorkelling excursions, presentation by marine biologists, access to islands, marine and national parks, use of comprehensive range of library and video resources, and an introductory SCUBA experience for first time divers.
Three night cruises depart Cairns or Townsville and four night cruises depart Cairns. Three and four night cruises can be combined for the ultimate Great Barrier Reef experience over seven nights.
