Compass Cruises 4.45

Compass is Cairns Best Value day trip to the Great Barrier Reef

Our day starts with boarding Compass at 7:45am at the Marlin Jetty in Cairns, we then cruise to the Outer Barrier Reef, where we spend 5 full hours, visiting 2 spectacular reef locations -Hastings and Breaking Patches, come face to face with schools of tropical reef fish, be amazed at the spectacular coral formations.

We offer Glass bottom boat tours with Marine naturalist reef interpretation, snorkelling, scuba diving, swimming, or simply relax on the sundeck.

We specialize in scuba diving and our friendly crew are handpicked because of their expertise in taking people diving – so whether you are a certified diver or a first time diver you can be sure you are in very capable hands.

Enjoy a delicious tropical buffet lunch as we cruise from Hastings Reef to Breaking Patches.

As we leave the Great Barrier Reef we offer Boom netting just for the fun of it.

Complimentary wine, cheese and a selection of tropical fruits are served on the journey back to Cairns.

Our ultimate goal at Compass Cruises is to give you an experience that you have been to the Great Barrier Reef with friends not a number on a manifest.
