Overview

Most reef boats are transport. Evolution is a 35-metre, three-deck superyacht with air-conditioned lounges and full-length sundecks, so the ride out to the outer Great Barrier Reef is part of the day, not the price of admission.

You get five hours across two outer reef locations, which is serious water time. Snorkel equipment, floatation devices and lycra suits are all provided free, and if you want to go deeper there are up to three introductory or certified scuba dives with professional instructors. Lunch is cooked onboard and served with salads, with dietary requirements catered for if you flag them when you book.

Arrival tea, coffee and mini muffins start the day; a glass of wine and a snack platter close it as you cruise back to Cairns. Eight hours, properly done.

"Completely amazing to see the fish and coral up close. Very cool to go on the private marine biology tour that takes you away from the crowds even more."

"It was gorgeous under there. We saw a reef shark and stingray, not to forget all the beautiful fish and corals. It was definitely worth every penny."
