Imagine watching 2015 close out with sunset over the Coral Sea and then taking a night dive on the reef, exploring the moonlit coral gardens and watching the night patrol of predator fish.

Back on board the boat, enjoy the gloriously warm evening air and take a drink (or two) to the exterior decks and enjoy the fireworks – read brightly twinkling stars – that adorn the night sky. At the end of the evening, the gentle rocking of the ocean sends you to sleep.

Wake up early to watch the sun rise on a new day and new year. Begin it in style, with a snorkel or dive on the Great Barrier Reef. In our opinion, this is the best time of day to be in the water. The night patrol is winding up and the day shift is just beginning.

The best way to spend New Years Eve 2016 on the Great Barrier Reef is with a liveaboard trip and you’re in luck, there’s still availability on a few boats departing Cairns. Tailor your trip, to suit your budget and itinerary.
