I don’t know who needs to hear this—but if you’ve got kids, a partner who loves a bargain more than breathing, or a personal goal to escape your email inbox via snorkel… I’ve cracked the code.

Sunlover Reef Cruises just became my new best friend, and here’s why:
I managed to upgrade our island day trip for free, and my partner shaved $45 off his scuba dive—which basically paid for our post-snorkel ice creams. Win, win, win. 🐠🍦💸

The Fitzroy Freebie: How We Got Upgraded Without Lifting a Finger

We booked the Value Fitzroy Island tour expecting a lovely day on the beach. But then I spotted this magical little banner on the website:
“Free upgrade to Fitzroy’s Best of Island package”

Umm, yes please? One click later, and we had snorkel gear, a glass bottom boat tour and full Best of Island vibes—all without paying a cent more.
My youngest thinks I’m a travel genius now. He also thinks sea cucumbers are “squishy legends,” so take that as you will.

Travel tip: This deal’s valid for trips until 31 March 2026, so there’s time to plot your escape.

Moore Reef Madness: Save $45 and Still Breathe Easy

As if one deal wasn’t enough, Sunlover also has a $45 discount on both intro and certified dives at Moore Reef.
My partner booked the intro dive (his first time underwater since he dropped his phone in the pool in 2012), and came up grinning like a dugong.

The verdict?
“I saw Nemo, a sea turtle, and something that might’ve been a coral emoji in real life. Worth every cent—especially when it’s cheaper.”

Final Thoughts from a Reef-Obsessed Bargain Hunter

Between the free Fitzroy upgrade and the Moore Reef dive discount, our family reef week turned out to be the highlight of the year—and we didn’t have to sell a kidney to afford it.
It’s not every day you feel like you’ve hacked the holiday system.

So if you’re looking for sun, salt, snorkels and savings… trust me, this is the way to do it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to Google “how to become a marine biologist at 39.”
