Choosing a Cairns reef option.

Cairns reef tours

It is easy to see, when viewed up close, why the Great Barrier Reef has been recognised as one of the 8 greatest natural wonders of the world. When looking to experience a Cairns reef tour a few options need to be considered. The first is inner reef or outer reef.

In Cairns the most popular inner reef options are either Green Island or Fitzroy Island. The greatest thing about the inner reef Islands is that it provides you the opportunity to explore the island as well as the reef. The reef is made up of a mixture of soft and hard corals. On the Islands there are many options, whilst you are there you can head out for a Heli flight, scuba dive, nature walk or simply relax on the beach or enjoy a cold beverage in the resort bar.

The outer reef options allow you to either choose a vessel that visits more than one reef location or that moors to an anchored pontoon, either way you are out at sea for the entire day.  The great thing about being onboard a boat that visits multiple reef locations is that they can select the best snorkelling locations depending on tides, currents and winds on the day. When experiencing the outer reef often water quality can be clearer and predominately hard corals will be viewed, this is not always possible at inner reef islands.

The other outer reef option is to board a vessel and head out to a floating pontoon. These pontoons are often placed in a location where they can offer a great reef system as well as an area that isn't effected by currents, wind and tides as much as other location. Pontoons can also provide spacious decks to relax and sunbath on as well as an underwater observatory, semi-submarine and glass bottom boat tours.
