Sunlover Careers

More Than a Job — A Purpose

For over 30 years, Sunlover Reef Cruises has been sharing the wonder of the Great Barrier Reef with visitors from around the world. As an Eco Certified tourism operator and accredited Green Travel Leader with Ecotourism Australia, we don't just work on the reef — we actively protect it.

Our team is hands-on in reef conservation and research. We participate in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority's Eye on the Reef monitoring program, conduct regular coral health surveys, and actively manage ecological threats including Crown-of-Thorns Starfish removal through the Tourism Reef Protection Initiative. Working at Sunlover means contributing to the long-term health of a UNESCO World Heritage site every single day.

Some of our crew have been with us for decades. It's more than a job — it's a shared passion for the reef and the people who come to experience it. If you're looking for meaningful work in one of the most extraordinary natural environments on the planet, you're in the right place.
