You will visit two outer reef locations on this reef cruise.

When you arrive at the second reef in the afternoon, Hastings Reef, you will get a quick briefing before you climb aboard a state-of-the-art helicopter, which takes you out over the ocean for a 10-minute scenic flight. Your incredible scenic flight will show you the immense scale of the reef. From the air, you can see how sea turtles, sharks, and whales all mingle among the incredible network of corals and cays.

Then it's time to re-board the luxurious super yacht.

As you cruise back to Cairns, enjoy a complimentary glass of wine and a light snack as you toast to a fabulous day out on the Great Barrier Reef.
