Time Out says

Experience the technicolour marvels of the Great Barrier Reef – the world’s largest coral reef system – with Reef Magic's incredible full-day tours from Cairns. For three decades, this cheerful crew has been taking hundreds of thousands of adventurers on the sea trip of a lifetime to one of Australia’s most sought-after tourist hot spots. 

Setting sail from Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal, you’ll hit the seas for a breezy 90-minute journey aboard a stable yet speedy catamaran. Reef Magic’s all-weather pontoon is the newest addition to the outer Great Barrier Reef, providing plenty of on- and off-water experiences. Start your adventure with a glass-bottom boat tour, spot fish from the underwater observatory, snorkel in the shimmering turquoise seas, and join their guides for an introductory or certified dive.

After you’ve had your fun in the sun, you can soak up the tropical warmth on the pontoon’s spacious sundeck and enjoy a tropical buffet lunch overlooking the reef. Trust us, your five hours out on the Great Barrier Reef will fly by, so make the most of it.
