Sunlover Reef Cruises

Sunlover Reef Cruises departs from the Reef Fleet Terminal on Spence Street in Cairns City, in the tropical-north Queensland hub. A much-loved reef-cruise operator, it offers an unforgettable Great Barrier Reef experience — day cruises out to a reef pontoon where you can snorkel, dive, view coral and marine life and soak up one of the natural wonders of the world.

The appeal is that combination of an incredible Great Barrier Reef experience and a well-run day out: cruising to the reef, snorkelling or diving among the coral and marine life, and enjoying the pontoon's activities makes for a genuinely memorable, bucket-list experience. As a way to access the spectacular reef from Cairns, it's a real highlight of a visit to the tropical north.

With a 4.3 rating from more than 1,300 reviews, it's clearly a popular, well-loved experience. Cruise times, the pontoon, snorkelling and diving options, inclusions, bookings and pricing vary, and reef trips are weather-dependent, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly ahead before you go — taking sun protection and following the crew's safety guidance — then enjoying the Great Barrier Reef with Sunlover from Cairns.
