Reef and Island Outer Great Barrier Reef and Dunk Island Cairns

Set sail for a reef adventure like no other with an exclusive day trip to the pristine Beaver Reef and Dunk Island. Your journey begins with a comfortable coach transfer from Cairns to Mission Beach, where you’ll enjoy priority boarding and a light tropical breakfast of muffins, fresh fruit, and your choice of tea, coffee, or juice. Aboard the comfortable catamaran QuickCoast, you’ll cruise across turquoise waters and soak up the sea breeze. With a small group on board, you’ll enjoy a more uncrowded experience at one of the most untouched Outer Reef locations in Queensland.

Arriving at Beaver Reef, dive into the crystal-clear waters for your first snorkelling session, with all gear provided. Take in vibrant coral gardens and colourful marine life, and learn fascinating facts from the onboard marine biologist. Refuel with a delicious lunch before a second snorkel, then unwind with fresh tropical fruit as you return to Dunk Island for an hour of beach walks, relaxation, or cocktails. This all-inclusive day, complete with reef time, island exploring, and return transfers, is the perfect blend of adventure and nature.
