Sun & Fun at the Great Barrier Reef

Embark on a full-day catamaran cruise to Michaelmas Cay through Australia's beautiful Great Barrier Reef.

About Your Trip

Explore the impressive beauty of Australia’s famed Great Barrier Reef on this fascinating DreamTrip to Cairns. Board a luxury catamaran for a full-day cruise to Michaelmas Cay on Australia's Great Barrier Reef. You’ll enjoy 4 hours touring the reef, morning refreshments and a buffet lunch. On board, you’ll have access to snorkeling equipment and a demonstration on its use, informative ecological presentations by marine biologists, and a bird tour to give you the opportunity to learn about the surrounding nature and wildlife as you see it firsthand. Then, as you sail back toward the shore, enjoy live musical entertainment with a glass of Australian sparkling wine.

What we love:
• Michaelmas Cay, a reef sand island surrounded by magical coral gardens, is teeming with diverse marine life.
• The Cay — a protected seabird sanctuary — plays host to more than 20,000 migratory seabirds and is one of the most important nesting sites in the Southern Hemisphere.
• Spanning more than 1,300 miles (2,092 kilometers) in the Coral Sea off northeastern Australia’s Queensland coast, the Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest coral reef system.
