Experience the Great Barrier Reef the way it was meant to be explored — at speed. The Evolution High Speed Reef Cruise gets you to the outer reef faster than any other vessel from Cairns, meaning more time at the reef and less time travelling.
You'll visit three exclusive outer reef sites selected by our crew based on daily conditions, giving you access to some of the most pristine coral gardens and marine life on the planet. Whether you're snorkelling the surface or going deeper on a guided or introductory dive, the outer reef will leave you speechless.
The tour includes a light breakfast on departure, a full tropical buffet lunch at the reef, and afternoon tea on the return journey. All snorkel equipment is provided, and qualified instructors are on hand to guide beginner divers.
Absolutely incredible day. The outer reef sites were breathtaking — visibility was amazing, saw turtles, reef sharks and thousands of fish. The crew were so knowledgeable and the food was genuinely good. Already planning to come back!
Did the intro dive for the first time ever — the instructor made me feel completely at ease. Being underwater on the Great Barrier Reef is something I'll never forget. Highly recommend the Evolution over the bigger slower boats.
Booked this through Cairns Tours and the whole experience was seamless. High speed really does matter — we got way more time in the water. Third reef site was my favourite, the coral formations were unreal.
