Experience the magic of the Great Barrier Reef with us. Your Reef Magic cruise lasts around 90 minutes and will take you to our exclusive pontoon on the Outer Great Barrier Reef. Our Cairns reef tour gives you 5 hours at the pontoon to explore the wonders of the reef, both above and below the water.
Reef Magic Pontoon
Reef Magic operates cruise day trips direct from Cairns to the Reef Magic activity pontoon located on the outer Great Barrier Reef.
The all-weather Reef Magic pontoon caters for all activity levels, and is the newest pontoon on the Great Barrier Reef. Snorkel in the sheltered coral lagoon, join our Marine Biologist on a Guided Snorkel Safari, try Scuba Diving or even Sea Trek Helmet Diving.
If simply relaxing & soaking up the tropical warmth is more your style then take time out on our spacious sundeck. Best of all when traveling with Reef Magic you benefit from the expert local knowledge of an Australian owned, Cairns based crew who bring the friendly inclusive atmosphere for which we are renowned for.
