Evolution Reef Cruise – Day trip

Embark on an adventure-filled day as you board the award-winning superyacht Evolution for your Great Barrier Reef day tour. You will be warmly greeted by our professional and expert dive crew, who will ensure you are comfortable and ready for the experience of a lifetime.

About Evolution Reef Cruise

As you cruise from Cairns on your 35-metre luxury superyacht, you can relax and enjoy the stunning scenery en route to two exclusive outer Great Barrier Reef sites. Your tour includes five hours on the outer Reef, visiting two amazing and diverse reefs such as Norman, Saxon and Hastings, renowned for their remarkable coral density and prolific marine life.

First Reef location

Upon arriving at your first Reef location, either Saxon Reef or Norman Reef, you can snorkel and dive (scuba diving is available for an additional cost). With your provided equipment, immerse yourself in the underwater world, filled with multicoloured fish, coral and other marine life. Beginners will receive instruction, and our knowledgeable dive crew will be on hand to offer assistance.
During your time on the Reef, enjoy a delicious BBQ lunch prepared on board, featuring fresh fish, steak, a variety of salads and prawns. Special dietary requirements are also catered for.

Second Reef location

At your second Reef location, North Hastings Reef, you can choose to snorkel or dive once again. Alternatively, if you prefer to stay dry, you can still experience the wonders of the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef from above on a 10-minute scenic helicopter flight or our Semi-Submersible tour. Next, sit back and relax on the cruise back to Cairns. Celebrate with a glass of wine and afternoon tea at the end of your unforgettable day tour of the Great Barrier Reef.
