SeaQuest Day Trips to Outer Barrier Reef

Begin with a 90-minute boat ride to the outer reef, where you’ll spend up to four hours exploring two exclusive sites selected from Norman, Saxon, and Hastings reefs. Enjoy vibrant corals, turtles, stingrays, giant Maori Wrasse, and colourful reef fish. Onboard, relax in air-conditioned lounges, use hot freshwater showers, and take advantage of provided snorkel gear, wetsuits/lycra suits, and prescription masks. A tropical buffet lunch with hot and cold options is included, along with morning and afternoon tea, tea, coffee, and chilled water. Guided snorkel tours are available. SeaQuest operates as a transfer vessel with pre-booked excursions only, and diving upgrades cannot be guaranteed. At 2:00 PM, the vessel docks alongside OceanQuest for liveaboard transfers before returning to Cairns. Introductory dives suit beginners under professional guidance, while certified dives allow qualified divers more independence and depth.
