Some of the most popular Great Barrier Reef tours and day trips include sailing trips to idyllic sandy cays which are surrounded azure waters and easily accessible coral reef.

Other reef tours include a stop off at the world famous Green Island and then take you to a floating pontoon in the middle of the coral reef, from which you can dive in and snorkel amongst coral gardens teeming with beautiful tropic reef fish, including Nemo (the world famous clown fish).

If you are short on time and only have a half day to visit the Reef, try one our the many Island Tours which are available with multiple departures from Cairns daily.
