The ultimate full-day experience to Hastings Reef.
Your day starts with a 90-minute fast cruise to the outer reef with Down Under Cruise & Dive on superyacht Evolution. Down Under Cruise & Dive offer two unique outer reef locations chosen for their exceptional coral density and prolific marine life. Snorkel, scuba dive, join a semi-submersible tour with live commentary from a marine expert or take advantage of Evolution’s extensive lounge areas to simply relax or soak up some tropical sun.
Your experience concludes with a 25-minute scenic flight back to Cairns departing from our floating helipad. On your way back to Cairns you will enjoy stunning panoramic views extending from the tropical rainforest to the azure waters of the Great Barrier Reef, looking out for turtles, dolphins, manta rays, large schools of pelagic fish and potentially majestic humpback whales in season.
