Travel by air-conditioned catamaran from Cairns Marina to our Moore Reef Pontoon located on the Outer Great Barrier Reef, perfectly positioned and equipped for you to explore this reef that is teeming with colourful coral and fascinating fish.

Spend 4 hours exploring the reef by taking advantage of the free inclusions such as glass bottom boat tours, all snorkelling equipment, underwater observatory, fish feeding presentation, an enclosed ocean pool for kids and buffet lunch.

The pontoon also features an upper sundeck to relax in the sun and look out over the turquoise waters in between activities. This is where you'll find the waterslide - the only theme park waterslide on the reef!

You can’t miss this - the reef is incredible and the whole crew made it safe and easy to experience in all the ways available! It was even a rainy day but you didn’t notice when you were in the water or the glass bottom boat

The average rating has nothing to do with either the Barrier Reef (spectacular) or the staff (very helpful, courteous). More to do with the boat and the organizing of 'things'. There was a definite overlap between the feeding of the guests and the snorkeling. Quite confusing, frankly the folks who chose to snorkel first were left with little to eat afterwards. Also felt like the boat was old e.g. paint missing, carpets worn, etc. I would recommend this experience but probably on a newer boat.
Very god to see the coral here

The whole trip should’ve been canceled. The weather was awful. It was torrential rain. The ship was very rocky. Probably 3/4 of the ship was throwing up with puke bags. It was disgusting not impressed at all.
