Reef Magic Cruises have launched the newest pontoon on the Great Barrier Reef!
Reef Magic Cruises Pontoon is the newest and most technologically advanced pontoon on the Great Barrier Reef, designed and built for a sustainable future. At over 1003 sqm, enjoy the Great Barrier Reef with 2 spacious levels to relax, walk around the pontoon, visit the underwater observatory, enjoy the semi-submarines and ride the glass bottom boats. It is also very easy to access the water from the large stepped pool entry platform.
With loads of activities for all ages, you can snorkel in the sheltered coral lagoon, join the optional extra-cost marine biologists on a guided snorkel safari, try scuba diving, or even sea trek helmet diving.
Departing Cairns at 9:00 am, Reef Magic Cruises provides guests with five hours of reef time. Transfers to and from the reef are completed onboard the comfortable 30m TWIN hull Reef Magic Cruises II catamaran. The multi-level vessel has an air-conditioned interior and exterior sundeck.
The Marine World activity platform is approximately 45km offshore at a private Outer Great Barrier Reef destination. Permanently moored near a sheltered coral lagoon, Marine World offers guests the chance to participate in a range of activities including marine biology presentations; semi-submersible tours; glass-bottom boat tours; fish feeding; an underwater observatory, and all snorkel equipment. Guest amenities include sheltered seating; a sun deck with sun lounges; hot freshwater showers and change rooms.
Passengers can also book the optional extra cost of scuba diving; helmet diving and scenic helicopter reef flights.
Morning and afternoon tea is served onboard the Reef Magic Cruises catamaran, with a delicious hot and cold buffet lunch served on the Marine World platform. Drinks are available for sale from the licensed bar. A highlight of visiting Marine World is seeing Wally, the large blue Maori Wrasse (Fish).

Itinerary:
Check-in for the Reef Magic Cruises and Marine World Great Barrier Reef day tour commences at 8am, in the Cairns Reef Fleet Terminal. From there, it’s a short walk to the spacious catamaran, which is moored just outside at the Marlin Marina. Boarding is from 8.30am with complimentary tea and coffee served on arrival. Departure from Cairns is at 9am. A range of briefings are provided during the 90-minute transit to the Marine World reef pontoon, including information on the inclusions and optional extras and a marine biologist presentation on the Great Barrier Reef. You arrive at Marine World at 10.30am and have five (5) hours to swim, snorkel dive and complete all / any of the activities that you like.
The hot / cold buffet lunch is served on the Marine World pontoon from 12.15-1.30pm. Glass bottom boat and semi-submersible tours run throughout the day with an activity board providing the departure times for these (updated daily). At 3pm Reef Magic Cruises personnel ask everyone to board the catamaran in time for the 3.30pm departure from the reef, which sees you back into Cairns around 5pm.
Diving:
Reef Magic Cruises offers certified and introductory (no experience necessary) scuba dives from their Marine World pontoon and on the adjacent reef. You can book one (1) or two (2) dives, allowing you to tailor your day to suit your itinerary.
INTRODUCTORY DIVES: A great opportunity to try scuba diving for the first time. Water entry is via steps under the pontoon into the ocean, with the coral reef just a few metres away. All equipment and training is provided and all introductory dives are guided. Introductory dives generally last 20-25 minutes and go no deeper than 8m.
CERTIFIED DIVING: All certified diving on Reef Magic Cruises is guided and you can choose to take one (1) or two (2) scuba dives. Pending the conditions, diving will be either from the pontoon (with lowered stairs entry into the water) or tender transfer to nearby reef. Certified dives will reach a maximum depth of 18m and will last around 40 minutes. All equipment is included: you will be required to show you dive license and preferably your log book, as well as completing dive medical paperwork on board.
Snorkeling:
This trip is suitable for snorkelers of all experience levels. Water access is from a lowered platform, which allows you to take on and off your fins in the water. The reef gardens are literally just metres from the pontoon and snorkel platform and offer a diverse variety of colourful corals and marine life. A highlight will definitely be seeing ‘Wally’ a large blue Napolean (Maori) Wrasse. You might also see turtles, rays and a variety of other fish. All equipment (mask, fins and snorkel) is included in the ticket price, including flotation devices if required. Lycra / wet suits are available for hire onboard ($6 each) and are recommended for sun protection.

Cairns Helmet Diving Review: Reef Magic Cruises
By Julie |
Helmet diving is a great option for non-divers and swimmers to be able to spend time under the sea, getting up close and personal with the fish. Is it better than an introductory scuba dive? There’s no right or wrong answer here. To do an introductory scuba dive, you do need to know how to...
