We have been leading dive and snorkel trips to the Great Barrier Reef since 1974. Our award-worthy Great Barrier Reef Day Tour aboard AquaQuest offers an unforgettable adventure, welcoming first-time snorkellers, introductory divers, certified divers and families to experience one of the world's greatest natural wonders together.
Just 90 minutes from Cairns, guests spend five hours exploring two exceptional sites on the outer Great Barrier Reef. Using our exclusive moorings across Norman, Saxon and Hastings Reefs, our experienced crew carefully selects the day's locations to provide the best possible conditions and showcase the reef's incredible diversity. From vibrant coral gardens and playful clownfish to turtles, stingrays and the magnificent Giant Maori Wrasse, every trip offers unique and memorable wildlife encounters.
Purpose-built for diving and snorkelling, AquaQuest combines adventure with comfort. Spacious dive facilities, easy water access, modern equipment, expansive sun decks, air-conditioned lounges, hot freshwater showers and a generous buffet lunch ensure every guest enjoys a premium experience both in and out of the water.
What truly sets our day tour apart is our passionate team. With an unwavering commitment to safety, exceptional customer service and environmental stewardship, our crew creates an experience that is welcoming, educational and inspiring. Every guest leaves with unforgettable memories, a deeper appreciation of the Great Barrier Reef and a desire to help protect this extraordinary World Heritage-listed ecosystem for future generations.
