Snorkeling and Intro Diving

We had a wonderful experience with this company for our first intro dive that we had ever done. The staff were friendly and very helpful. The water was very calm and super easy to snorkel. The dive guide was very patient and showed us around...More

Worth every cent!

This cruise is for all ages. There is plenty of entertainment and things to do all day. We enjoyed the snorkeling but the semi sub ride was so cool. The food on this cruise is delicious and there is plenty to eat! I don’t know...More

Good tour for water lovers, food lovers, and photography lovers

See the Great Barrier Reef by scuba, snorkel or semi-submersible if you don't swim. The company provides the equipment you will need and feeds you well. In addition, Michaelmas Cay is populated by many birds thereby providing a photography adventure also.

First-rate trip to Michaelmas Cay

After spending over 3 weeks travelling through Queensland, we felt we couldn’t leave the state without a visit to the Great Barrier Reef. But we are not great swimmers and don’t like rough seas, so left it to the last minute to book (possible at...More

Brilliant day at Michaelmas Cay

We had the best day with Ocean Spirit cruises to Michaelmas Cay. The trip to the Cay takes 2 hours but is broken up by food in the form of morning tea - muffins and focaccia (we have 3 hungry boys!), safety briefings and a...More

Questions & Answers

Steve K

Are we able to change how we explore the reef on the day of the trip? What is an introductory dive? If my son does one of these, and enjoys it, is he able to use scuba at the other stops on the trip?

Good afternoon. I think there is a mix up between the Ocean Spirit cruise and the Silver Swift trip. Both are run by Great Adventures. Ocean Spirit goes to one and only location: Michaelmas Cay. Ideal for those wanting to... More

Aloha, I was wondering of you could tell me how far this boat is from the cruise terminal that the Solstice Celebrity cruise ship docks at and how would we get to your boat?

Good afternoon, the Great Adventures vessels (Ocean Spirit) depart from the Cairns Marina (picking up boarding pass inside the reef fleet terminal) which is about 10 minutes walk from Cairns cruise ship dock. Enjoy your trip.
