EXPLORE THE EXPERIENCE
About this experience
Silverswift is widely regarded as one of the best outer reef day boats operating from Cairns. The stylish high-speed catamaran takes you to three exclusive outer reef sites , spending more than five hours in the water across the day.
The outer reef sites visited by Silverswift are significantly more pristine than the inner reef sites visited by most day operators. Visibility regularly exceeds 25 metres, and the marine life — including reef sharks, turtles, manta rays, giant clams and thousands of tropical fish species — is extraordinary.
Silverswift caters to both snorkellers and divers equally, with a dedicated dive crew running certified and introductory dives at all three sites. The vessel is sleek, well-maintained, and the crew are among the most experienced on the reef.
Departure Point: Cairns Marina, Wharf 3, Pier Point Rd, Cairns City QLD 4870.
Check in at least 15 minutes before departure . Parking available at Reef Fleet Terminal carpark (paid). The marina is a 10-minute walk from Cairns CBD along the Esplanade.
