One of the best day trips from Cairns is a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. Today, you'll spend five hours exploring two stunning outer reef destinations, each with its own unique coral formations and diverse marine species. After an Aussie BBQ lunch and snorkelling out on the reef, you'll take to the air for a spectacular helicopter journey over the magical waters of the Great Barrier Reef. You'll sweep over coral gardens and sand cays, and see marine life from above before returning to Cairns.
