Itinerary
The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest coral reef system and one of Australia’s most iconic natural wonders. Stretching over 2,300 kilometres along the Queensland coast, it is home to thousands of species of marine life, including colourful coral gardens, tropical fish, sea turtles, giant clams and reef sharks. Sunlover's Moore Reef pontoon, located on the Outer Reef, offers crystal-clear waters, vibrant coral formations and excellent visibility, making it an ideal location for snorkelling, diving and scenic flights. Viewing the reef from above by helicopter reveals the incredible scale, patterns and vivid colours of this World Heritage-listed environment, while in the water guests can experience the reef up close among thriving marine ecosystems.

About Cairns & the Tropical North
Cairns is the gateway to Far North Queensland, with the Great Barrier Reef offshore, Daintree rainforest to the north and the Atherton Tablelands inland.
Cairns sits on Trinity Bay between the sea and a wall of forested ranges. The Esplanade has a public saltwater swimming lagoon and a long boardwalk beside mudflats where wading birds feed, and the Botanic Gardens hold tropical plants and a rainforest boardwalk. The city is the departure point for boats to the Great Barrier Reef, including the coral cay of Green Island and the rocky Fitzroy Island, and for flights over the reef.
