Great Barrier Reef Cruises
The most popular Great Barrier Reef tours depart from the Reef Fleet Terminal in Cairns. Ocean Spirit Cruises has been operating day cruises to Michaelmas Cay since 1987 and has the reputation of being the most luxurious and authentic tour experience out to the Great Barrier Reef.
Ocean Spirit Great Barrier Reef Cruises offer you all of what you expected and beyond. A trip to the Reef aboard Ocean Spirit is a unique experience in that it is a combination of luxury, adventure, sport, sightseeing, entertainment and a deluxe buffet!
The luxury catamarans provide all on-board amenities that would make your cruise relaxed and comfortable. While on the boat, take advantage of the extensive foredeck for sightseeing and sunbathing. Enjoy a nature tour to Michaelmas Cay, a preserved island surrounded by the reef and its diversity of corals and marine life. The tour offers exciting photo opportunities with close encounters with thousands of migratory birds in the backdrop of a picturesque environment.
Snorkelling and scuba diving equipments are provided by the crew along with training for those who would love to take a close look at the reef life. For the less adventurous, there are the semi-submersible tours and slideshows with informative interactions with qualified marine biologists. When a lot of reef activity tires you, relax in the comforts of the vessel and make the most of the delicious buffet, freshly sourced and prepared on board. And when sufficiently recharged, plunge right back in!
