About AquaQuest | Cairns Reef Day Tour

Experience the Reef from Cairns

Great Barrier Reef from Cairns

Your trip with AquaQuest out to the reef will take just 90 minutes from Cairns, with five hours spent on the outer reef. We’ll select two of the best Great Barrier Reef snorkelling sites according to the day’s conditions. Our amazing sites include spots along the diverse, species-rich Norman, Saxon and Hastings Reefs.

With myriads of tropical fish, pristine coral formations, turtles and “nemos”, you’ll be blown away by the spectacle that is the Great Barrier Reef.

Our day trip vessel AquaQuest is purpose-built for snorkelling, with state of the art equipment. If you decide you’d like to try an introductory dive during your trip, our expert team is on hand to guide you through this amazing experience.

100% Recomend! What an amazing trip! The quality of the Reef was epic! The snorkel and dive equipment was brand new... Food was very good. These guys really know how to make your day extra special! Spend the little bit extra and go from Port Douglas, the reef is so much nicer!

Amazing first time ever scuba diving experience with Divers Den!! Big thanks to Rosie, Adam and the rest of the crew for their full engagement, patience and friendliness. They’ve provided service beyond expectations!! The iconic Great Barrier Reef was the best thing I saw during my trip to Australia.
