Cruise to Michaelmas Cay for a full day on the Great Barrier Reef. Snorkel vibrant coral gardens, explore a protected seabird sanctuary and view the reef from a semi-submersible for a truly unforgettable marine experience.
Discover Michaelmas Cay on a full day experience that brings the Great Barrier Reef to life. You'll depart from Cairns and cruise across the tropical waters while enjoying morning tea along the way. On arrival, step onto this protected reef island, with soft sand and crystal-clear shallows. Snorkel equipment, flotation aids, and tuition are included, so everyone can confidently explore the colourful coral gardens and watch fish shimmer through the water. For lunch, enjoy a hot and cold buffet onboard before returning to the water for even more reef time.
Continue your adventure with a semi-submersible tour, offering a close-up view of the reef’s underwater world without getting wet. You’ll also have the chance to join guided nature walks searching for the seabirds that call this island home. With four hours on the reef, morning and afternoon tea, and expert guidance throughout the day, this experience blends relaxation and discovery in one unforgettable journey.
In extreme weather conditions the tour may be cancelled if safety is a concern, you will be contacted by the provider and rescheduled.
Please wear comfortable shoes and clothing and bring a change of clothes, a towel, swimwear, a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen.
This experience departs from Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal, Cairns City, QLD 4870.

That's 10% of the Australian population! When we started 'doing' experiences in 2001, Facebook didn't exist; the iPod had just been invented; John Howard was Prime Minister; and Destiny's Child were popular (yikes!). We've been at this business of experiences for quite a while, so put your trust in us to show you a good time.
We want you to have the most enriching experience possible, so if this means swapping your jet boat experience for wine tasting then we've got you covered. Simply exchange online or contact our Customer Experience Team and we'll do the work for you.
We understand life gets busy, which is why all vouchers and gift cards purchased have a 5-year expiry. The only exception to our expiry terms is if the experience has already been booked in. We honour the purchase price of our experiences for 18 months. If you book your experience after this time and the price of the experience increases you can either pay the difference or exchange it for another experience free of charge.
We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That's why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author's experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.
