OceanQuest, our liveaboard vessel, offers the ultimate overnight experience on the Great Barrier Reef departing from Cairns. Spend your days and nights exploring premium outer Great Barrier Reef sites aboard our floating 'boatel'. When a single day at the reef isn't sufficient, an overnight journey from Cairns provides ample time. Enjoy vibrant snorkel sites during the day, and in the evenings unwind with fellow guests in our spacious lounge bar or relax in your air-conditioned cabin equipped with an en-suite bathroom. Our purpose-built, three-deck, 35-metre catamaran ensures a superior holiday experience, featuring a spacious dive deck, expansive open sundecks, and hot, freshwater showers. Indulge in delicious meals prepared by our onboard chef, including hearty breakfasts, lunches, and dinners, topped off with a well-deserved dessert after your day in the water!
