If you&rsquo;re looking for the best outer reef tours from Cairns, look no further than this Moore Reef and Fitzroy Island adventure from Sunlover Reef Cruises! With so much to see and do, this tour is perfect for families, couples, and solo travellers who want to discover North Queensland&rsquo;s iconic natural wonders and diverse marine life.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

<h3>Moore Reef</h3>

Departing from Cairns, your adventure begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned catamaran journey to the outer Great Barrier Reef.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

At the Moore Reef pontoon, you can choose from a variety of activities depending on how you&rsquo;d like to spend your day. Younger guests can enjoy a swim in the enclosed ocean pool, splashing right into its tropical waters with a thrilling ride down Sunlover&rsquo;s 30-metre spiral waterslide.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Prefer to stay dry but still want to see the reef? Why not hop on Sunlover&rsquo;s semi-submersible boat, take a trip on a glass bottom boat tour, or view the marine life from their underwater observatory?&nbsp;

&nbsp;

Anyone looking for even more adventure can also choose from a number of additional optional activities, including a guided snorkel tour, a Seawalker helmet dive, and even a scenic helicopter flight over the reef.

&nbsp;

<h3>Fitzroy Island</h3>

After exploring the aquatic wonders of Moore Reef, the adventure continues with a Fitzroy Island tour. Here, you&rsquo;ll enjoy a wonderful lunch at Zephyrs on Fitzroy Island and spend a delightful afternoon unwinding on coral-fringed beaches or taking a leisurely walk through the lush rainforest.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

With so many activities to choose from and so much lush scenery to explore, this tour promises something enjoyable for every age and interest.

&nbsp;
