Plans for Cairns Australia

Discovering the Great Barrier Reef
Duration
Approximately 7 hours
Description
Here's your opportunity to visit the world's richest marine habitat-Australia's Great Barrier Reef. Walk 800 yards from the ship to board a high-speed catamaran. In just 90-minutes the catamaran whisks you to a purpose-built offshore reef pontoon. A presentation by a marine naturalist on board will prepare you for the exquisitely beautiful underwater world that lies ahead. The range of activities seems limitless. Take in the underwater views from the pontoon's viewing chamber or take the semi-submersible or glass bottom boat tour for matchless panoramas of colourful tropical fish and intricate coral gardens. Inviting aquamarine waters provide a tempting attraction for those wishing to swim with a mask and snorkel. Enjoy a tropical smorgasbord lunch, served in air conditioned comfort then return to the water to swim or snorkel, or just lay back and relax on the sundeck. For the more adventurous try diving or an Outer Reef Scenic Helicopter Flight. Dive and flight as an optional extra. **Please note, Semi-submersible and Seawalker Platform Helmet Dive not available at Marine World, however there is an underwater observatory guests may access at their leisure.
