  • Make sure to arrive 30 minutes prior to departure for stress-free check-in and boarding. Cruise departs at 08:30 sharp
  • Arrival back at Reef Fleet Terminal is at approximately 17:00

Start your morning on the deck of a catamaran with a coffee in hand and the great barrier reef on the horizon. By 09:00 you'll be on the open water being briefed on how to snorkel and learning about reef life from a marine biologist.

You'll arrive at Michaelmas Cay around 10:30. A shuttle will whisk you between the boat and the island all-day. Lie back and watch the birdlife or explore the reef with a snorkel or an introductory dive (additional cost). Back on board, a buffet lunch awaits!
