Without a doubt, on every traveller’s bucket list

You’re casually sitting back on the beach, looking into the endless ocean.

The sun is out, you’ve got a sneaky beer in hand, and you are wondering what’s out there.
Of course, you know that a short trip off the coast will have you floating atop the best reef in the world.

But such is the profound beauty of the coral and fish of all sizes swimming past; you will never honestly know what’s out there until you see it yourself.

Great Barrier Reef
Fun Day on the Great Barrier Reef

There are many ways to see the Great Barrier Reef, with all tours differing from price to what they offer.
Although this could make the decision harder, we have narrowed the choice down to three tour companies.

The possibilities are there, whether it is an excellent budget option, great day tours or ‘liveaboards’.
Likewise, if you are just keen for a snorkel or are a certified scuba diver, there is a reef tour for all experience levels.

Reef Experience is another tour company perfect for a day out on the reef

Reef Experience is the only all-inclusive reef tour group in Cairns and also offers a free scuba dive and Resort Dive certificate afterwards.
Those who have taken the trip rave about the food and the friendly, professional crew.

With six hours of unlimited snorkelling, breakfast and lunch included, and a crew that will happily help even the more hesitant of first-time divers, pairing up with Reef Experience is a great way to see the Great Barrier Reef has to offer.
