The Sunlover fast catamaran departs from Cairns Marin Marina and heads to the private, state-of-the-art outer reef pontoon at the magnificent Moore Reef.
During your four-hour stay at Moore Reef, enjoy a wide range of water and dry-land activities suitable for all ages, activity levels, and swimming abilities.
You can snorkel, scuba dive, visit the underwater observatory, watch a lively fish feeding demonstration, or take an enriching glass-bottom boat or semi-submersible tour to gain a deeper understanding of this intricate ecosystem.
The pontoon features ample secluded seating, freshwater showers, changing rooms, and a spacious sun deck with loungers. This family-friendly day trip caters to all your needs and includes Moore Reef's only theme park-style waterslide—the popular Sunlover Sunslide!
