“Booked this on a whim and it turned out to be the highlight of my Cairns trip. The catamaran ride was smooth, and Michaelmas Cay is straight out of a postcard. Snorkeled alongside turtles and heaps of fish—felt like I was in Finding Nemo ha ha ! The crew was super friendly, and the buffet lunch was great. Capped the day with sparkling wine and cheese on the sail back. Pure bliss.”

“Not usually a tour person but this was super worth it. I wanted to see the reef without being crammed on a party boat, and Ocean Spirit totally delivered. Smooth sailing, loads of space to spread out, and honestly just stunning scenery the whole way. Michaelmas Cay is this wild little sandbar with birds everywhere—like a David Attenborough set. The snorkeling was chill and surprisingly good for a shallow spot. Felt like a solid intro to the reef if you’re not doing a liveaboard. A bit pricey, yeah, but you def get your money’s worth.”

“This tour exceeded all expectations. The crew's passion for marine conservation was evident and added depth to the experience. Snorkeling with turtles and colorful fish was a highlight. The onboard marine biologist's presentation was pretty good too. A must-do for anyone visiting Cairns.”
