One thing that you cannot forget experiencing while you’re in Cairns is heading to the Outer Great Barrier Reef. There are hundreds of thousands of different colored fish and other marine life that your mind will spin and your trigger finger will get sore from taking so many photo’s.
There are plenty of different kinds of reef cruises that you can select from, and it all depends on who you are as to which sort is going to suit you. We both know, As I have done all the best reef daytrips from Cairns , I have chosen the reef tours that I thought were the best and then placed them in to two alternative classes.
These day cruises are good value for money and are essentially for the young. However, if you’re young in body and spirit, you will certainly like such cruises.
If you’re interested in a reef cruise that’s plenty of fun, in addition to terrific snorkelling and diving, then you’re sorted!
‘Passions’ has their very own scuba diving site on the Outer Barrier Reef out of Cairns, which means nobody else stealing your sunshine (no overcrowding)! The staff are incredibly inter-active with all of the passengers, getting you involved in the whole lot of the days activities. You should understand, You will not be able to escape them once they come around to paint your face with zinc cream (the whole lot in the name of skin cancer awareness!), or when they try to get you dance the waltz about the middle deck of the boat on the way home.
Scuba diving is available, and ‘Passions’ is in reality the first boat I ever did a scuba dive on. If you’re as chicken as I was, the particularly well trained dive instructors will take you’re issues away.
Stopping at Michaelmas Cay on the way back to Cairns and being served a complimentary glass of wine while experiencing the sunshine, is a terrific finish to a excellent day.
