You will have six full hours of exploring the secrets of the fascinating underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef. At Upolu Cay you depart from Ocean Freedom onto the most pristine sandy coral cay that sits in the middle of the ocean surrounded by colourful reef and inquisitive fish. Here you will enjoy a glass bottom boat tour and a marine environment interpretation by one of the Ocean Freedom crew members. You can also try your snorkel gear out and make the necessary adjustment with some help from the Ocean Freedom crew who are always on hand for anything that you may need assistance with through the day. Floatation vests are available for you to use if you do not feel comfortable in the water or if you want to spend hours drift snorkelling around the Great Barrier Reef to see the amazing coral structures and marine life. If you stay still long enough the fish will not see you as a predator and come up nice and close to have a good look at you. Drift around for an hour and then be back on board to go to one of the most amazing spots on the Great Barrier Reef called The Wonder Wall and a wonderful surprise it is. Located on the edge of Upolu Reef The Wonder Wall is perfect for the first time snorkeller or the fully certified diver as it offers an abundance of different type of corals which in turn attracts different types of fish and other marine life. New guests always come back to Ocean Freedom with a story of what they saw and experienced with their eyes wide open and their jaws still unhinged. The Wonder Wall truly is a great place to spend the rest of your day on the Great Barrier Reef as you will see so much more here than a lot of other reef destinations. Make sure your first Cairns Great Barrier Reef boat tour is with the crew on Ocean Freedom.
