Zoom Helicopters × Sunlover Reef Cruises
Half Day Snorkelling Adventure on the Great Barrier Reef
If you think you need a full day to see the Great Barrier Reef — think again.
With Zoom Helicopters × Sunlover Reef Cruises, you can soar above the reef and dive beneath it all in one unforgettable half day snorkelling adventure from Cairns.
This exclusive collaboration blends the thrill of flight with the magic of snorkelling — giving you the best of both worlds in just a few hours.
See the reef from every angle — above, below, and all within hours.
Your journey begins with a 20-minute scenic helicopter flight from Cairns, offering breathtaking aerial views of coral formations, turquoise lagoons, and outer reef channels.
Touch down directly on Sunlover’s Moore Reef Pontoon, floating above one of the most pristine snorkelling sites in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
Here, the real fun begins — half day snorkelling through coral gardens teeming with colourful fish, giant clams, and the occasional sea turtle gliding by.
When you’re ready to relax, stretch out on the upper deck, take a semi-submarine tour, or zoom down the iconic 30-metre spiral waterslide before cruising back to Cairns in comfort.
