Newly installed in 2022, it features solar and wind power electricity generation as well as a saltwater filter and rainwater collection system that creates pure and clean drinking water, accessed from the refill stations onboard. Guests are greatly encouraged to bring their reusable water bottles for refilling. The ship is involved in the Starfish Program and coral reef conservation and restoration projects. Reef Magic is a member of the Great Barrier Reef Citizen Science Program, actively monitoring the coral reef ecosystem.

Reef Magic explores the spectacular Outer Great Barrier Reef. Embark on a smooth and efficient journey aboard our high-speed catamarans directly from Cairns. These stable vessels minimise travel time, leaving more of your day exploring the magic of the Great Barrier Reef. Unique to Reef Magic, our modern catamarans offer attentive service, spacious interiors and exceptional comfort. Our all-weather platform caters to adventurers of all levels.

There are many extra activities to do. Snorkel in the sheltered coral lagoon(unlimited times within 5 hours), join our Marine Biologist for a guided snorkel safari, or go on a scuba diving adventure (no experience required). For a unique underwater adventure without getting your hair wet, try a SeaTREK Helmet Dive, or soar above it all on a spectacular Reef Scenic Helicopter Flight.

With 5 hours at the reef, there is time to do it all. For those who aren't confident swimmers or prefer to stay dry, explore the reef from the airconditioned underwater observatory, onboard science laboratory or the FREE semi-submersible reef viewer and glass-bottom boat tours. If relaxation is your priority, take to the spacious sundeck and enjoy an afternoon beverage at the Drift Bar and enjoy an included lunch. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!

Extra Activities

Guided Underwater Walking Tour

The Reef Magic Pontoon is handpicked for its exceptional water clarity, biological diversity and overall ecological richness. This location, one of the most pristine reef sites in Australia, is ideal for helmet diving, a unique underwater experience suitable for not confident swimmers aged 12-65.

On a 360-degree underwater circuit tour, you'll encounter shoals of fish and a variety of marine life without even getting your hair wet.

 

Introductory Diving

No prior experience is required. All necessary equipment, including a wetsuit & souvenir dive certificate, is provided. The Reef Magic pontoon offers a safe, controlled environment perfect for beginner divers.

Descend into a sheltered “moon pool” where you will spend time practicing some fundamental scuba skills in shallow water before heading off on your dive. Our small group size, with a maximum of four divers per instructor (fewer for nervous divers), ensures personalised attention and safety.

Your first dive will be in our coral lagoon, a shallow, sheltered area with dense coral cover and teaming with fish life. The 1st dives last around 20-30 minutes and reach a maximum of 12 meters with most of the dive around 4-5m. On the 2nd or 3rd dives, you will have already done the skills leaving more time for the actual dive.

 

Certified Diving 

Reef Magic Cruises are renowned for offering some of the best-certified diving experiences on the Great Barrier Reef. Our dedicated dive tender, departing from the Reef magic pontoon, takes you to a variety of dive sites, including drift dives, wall dives, channel dives, swim-throughs, small caves, ledges, and drop-offs. These exclusive locations are only accessible to Reef Magic pontoon visitors so you are ensured a unique dive experience.

With 5 hours of dedicated reef time, we can offer up to 3 completely different dives in a day. All dives are professionally guided for your safety and enjoyment. We take you directly to the best places, leaving you more time to take in the beauty of your surroundings without the need to navigate.

Sites are chosen to suit the weather conditions on the day and take into account the experience of the divers. Don’t forget your log book so we can record your Great Barrier Reef experience for you!
