Sunlover Reef Cruises & Seawalker Special (5% OFF)
Sunlover Cruises is a tour operator with a great reputation in Cairns. They have a large and comfortable catamaran that can take a maximum of 300 people to the reef but usually they take much less so people have a lot of extra space on board.

Sunlover Cruises departs at 9:30am every day from Cairns and they take visitors to Moore Reef, a reef formation about 40 kilometers from the coast or 1h 45min by boat. Moore Reef ranges from 1 metre to 25 metres depth so it is great for snorkellers who want to enjoy the shallow reef and also great for divers who want to explore the deeper reef.

Sunlover Cruises Platform is very spacious and modern. It is the only platform with a waterslide in the Great Barrier Reef. The waterslide is about 8 metres high and 30 metres long. Visitors can spend the whole day going down the waterslide, it is definitely great fun for kids and also adults.

There are lots of free activities available from the platform, and they are:

Cairns is a major tourist destination, with access to two UNESCO world heritage sites; the Daintree Rainforest as part of the Wet Tropics of Queensland, and the Great Barrier Reef, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

The Wet Tropics rainforest is undoubtedly one of Tropical North Queensland’s biggest drawcards, covering an area of some 900,000ha of pristine wilderness along the east coast of much of the region. While many choose to make the pilgrimage to the iconic Daintree & Cape Tribulation section, the rolling hills and tumbling falls of the Atherton Tablelands, or rugged trails of Mission Beach & Cassowary Coast, you can head into the greenery from as little as 5mins from the Cairns CBD.

Here’s how to explore this incredible ecosystem without straying far from Cairns.

The koala (scientific name: Phascolarctos cinereus) is an arboreal herbivorous marsupial mammal native to Australia. It is the only extant representative of the family Phascolarctidae and its closest living relatives are wombats, which are members of the family Vombatidae. The koala is found in coastal areas of the eastern and southern regions of the continent, inhabiting Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. It is easily recognized by its robust, tailless body, a large head with round, soft ears, and a large spoon-shaped nose. The koala has a body length of 60 to 85 cm (24 to 33 in) and weighs 4 to 15 kg (9 to 33 lb). The fur color varies from silvery gray to chocolate brown. Koalas from northern populations are typically smaller and lighter in color than their counterparts located further south. These populations are possibly separate subspecies, but this is disputed.
