Cairns│Sunlover Moore Reef Pontoon Full Day

Sunlover Cruise : Great Barrier Reef Full-Day Reef Tour

Whether you’re an adventure seeker, experienced diver or it’s your first visit to the Great Barrier Reef, our expert team will deliver a unique reef tour experience for you. Sunlover’s aim is simple: share our passion for the reef and ensure that you make memories that last a lifetime.

Reef Tours from Cairns

From our home base in the vibrant tropical city of Cairns, Sunlover is perfectly positioned for reef tours and day trips to the Great Barrier Reef. We love what we do and we’re passionate about where we get to do it – Cairns and out to the magnificent Great Barrier Reef and Fitzroy Island.

Enjoy a Tropical Banquet Lunch

Sunlover has teamed up with Palm Cove’s Nu Nu Restaurant to offer a brilliant on-board menu for passengers on the Moore Reef full-day tour.

Great Barrier Reef Snorkelling

Snorkelling is our most popular activity and one of the best ways to see the Great Barrier Reef. From the moment you push off the snorkel platform, you enter a world of dazzling marine life, including our resident sea turtles and Maori Wrasse ‘Wally,’ as well as hundreds of species of hard and soft corals, sea stars, giant clams, sea cucumbers, clown fish (aka Nemo), parrot fish, angel fish, butterfly fish, and much, much more.
