EXPLORE THE EXPERIENCE
About this experience
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.
Departure Point: Cairns Marina, Wharf 3, Cairns Port. Check in 15 minutes before departure.
Address: Pier Point Rd, Cairns City QLD 4870. Parking available at Reef Fleet Terminal carpark.
