Reef Experience, Cairns only all inclusive day trip to the Great Barrier Reef. It's a great day trip to the Outer Great Barrier Reef  

We put an enormous amount of thought into this vessel based on what we have learnt after taking people to the Great Barrier Reef for 27 years and also from customer feedback - the customer feedback consistantly said why can't there be one price - not one fee plus all the extra add ons like bus transfers, reef tax, port charges, glass bottom boat, diving, wetsuit etc.

Our experience commences with comfortable air-conditioned bus transfer from the clients accommodation included in the price of the trip.

All our guests are greeted by our friendly staff

7:30am we start serving chef prepared fresh breakfast onboard the vessel - all included in the price of the trip.

There is time for our guests to grab a quick cup of tea, coffee or Milo available all day whilst the vessel is not moving ( included in the tariff ).

8:00am departing from Marlin Jetty, Cairns we cruise to the crystal clear warm waters of the Outer Barrier Reef. It is our Captain's decision which of the spectacular Outer Barrier Reef Locations our guests visit, two choices being Norman, Saxon, Hastings and Breaking Patches.

During our cruising time on our fast catamaran our guests learn some wonderful reef information from our onboard Marine Biologist. Our biologist provides a Reef Presentation - also of course there is a safety briefing, a snorkel briefing and a dive briefing - the Great Barrier Reef statistics are that 2 out of 3 people that visit the Great Barrier Reef don't get in the water - 70% of people who visit this region for a second time don't go back to the Great Barrier Reef - scary statistics for people who operate a reef trip and also for those who sell a reef trip - for the 2 out of 3 people who don't get their hair wet - well all I can say to that is that they did not come with us.

Our companies goal is that everybody who comes with us is made to feel like they have been to the reef with friends rather than a number on a manifest - we take people who can not swim on guided snorkel trips every day we even take them on introductory dives - our guests are the ones that say YES I snorkelled on the Great Barrier Reef and there the clients who are Cairns best form of advertising.
Many of them do travel to the Great Barrier Reef - one girl last week came 4 days in a row on Reef Experience.

At approx 9:30am depending which Reef location the Captain has decided on we arrive at the Outer Barrier Reef

Reef Encounter passengers are transferred to Reef Encounter.

Reef Experience clients have chosen if they need a guided snorkel someone to swim for them the client holds onto a floatation device and our wonderful crew swim for them.
Or an introductory dive -most of these people have never dived before some can not swim.
Or they can choose a certified dive.
Which ever they choose it is included in the trip.

Wetsuit included in the price of the trip, 6 hours at the Great Barrier Reef included in the trip
