About

Experience the Outer Reef Cruise and Activity Platform

Set off from Port Douglas for an unforgettable journey out to the breathtaking Outer Reef. As you travel aboard a wavepiercer catamaran, you’ll glide across the Coral Sea towards a world-class activity platform situated right on the edge of Australia’s famed continental shelf. This is where the reef’s marine ecosystem thrives and the colors of the coral and sea life are at their most vibrant.

Your Adventure Begins

Step onto a modern, air-conditioned vessel and head over 39 nautical miles out to sea. The cruise itself is a scenic treat with sparkling blue waters and the iconic Queensland coastline as your backdrop. Upon arrival, you’ll find a permanently moored, spacious activity platform awaiting you, designed to provide both comfort and adventure.

Marine Exploration and Snorkelling

Once docked, there’s no shortage of activities to suit every interest and skill level. Snorkellers can experience the Outer Reef’s crystal-clear waters and encounter vibrant coral gardens teeming with diverse marine creatures. Qualified lifeguards and guides are available, ensuring a safe and informative experience for everyone. All essential snorkelling gear, including lycra suits and buoyancy aids, is provided so you can enjoy exploring beneath the surface at your own pace.

See the Reef from Below

For a unique view, take a seat in the ocean’s underwater observatory. Here, you’ll observe schools of colourful fish, elegant rays and intricate corals through large windows without even getting wet. The semi-submersible vessels offer another way to discover the reef’s diversity, gliding through coral gardens just below the water's surface.

Learn and Relax

Throughout your visit, don’t miss the insightful reef presentations and live fish feeding delivered by a knowledgeable marine biologist. Enjoy morning and afternoon tea between activities, then recharge with a generous tropical buffet lunch served onboard. The facility is equipped with showers and offers a licensed bar where drinks can be purchased separately.
