Why Sunlover?

Safety

Sunlover’s highest priority is safety and as a consequence we have an impeccable safety record. A Comprehensive Safety Management System (SMS) includes stringent crew to passenger ratios and thorough risk assessments are available.

Education

At Sunlover it’s all about hands-on learning and team-building on the reef while you strengthen connections with snorkelling challenges, marine bio for a day, guided marine tours, and glass-bottom boat adventures.

Experience

Customise your event with a private reef tour, onboard catering, and tailored activities. Sunlover has been operating for 30 years and our crews have lifetimes of collective experience to provide safe, memorable and educational reef trips.

Conservation

For Sunlover staff, the Great Barrier Reef isn’t just our workplace. We feel privileged to be able to nurture and care for our site through monitoring, research, advocacy and removal of predatory crown of thorns starfish.

What our Guests Say

“We hosted our annual corporate retreat with Sunlover, and it exceeded every expectation. The team-building snorkelling challenge was a hit, and the sunset drinks on the pontoon were the perfect way to wrap up the day. The staff were incredibly professional, ensuring every detail was handled seamlessly. Our team left feeling inspired and more connected — we’ll definitely be back next year!”

“Sunlover helped us organise a product launch event, and it was flawless. From the gourmet catering to the glass-bottom boat tours, our guests were blown away. The team provided excellent support, customising the itinerary to fit our needs perfectly. The stunning backdrop of the Great Barrier Reef made for some incredible photos and left a lasting impression on our clients.”

“We are thrilled to have the relationship that we do with Sunlover. Their Marine Biologist for a Day program is informative, thorough and fun. The fact that Sunlover has Master Reef Guides like Pablo and Luke ensure that the students are in the care of experts. We especially love their attentiveness to safety. The things our students learn on this day out to Moore Reef perfectly complements what our guides are teaching on the rest of their tour, and their data collection for Eye on the Reef is a perfect citizen science project to help the reef.”
