DAY 1:

CAIRNS / LIZARD ISLAND

Flying from Cairns, your aircraft remains at low level affording wonderful views of the Ribbon Reefs. After just one hour in the air, you reach your haven, Lizard Island.

 

DAY 2:

LIZARD ISLAND / RIBBON REEFS

This remote island offers some of the finest diving in the world. Untrammelled and therefore unspoilt, the reef is colourful and the marine life abundant. Today you embark on a full day’s private diving or snorkelling charter.

Your vessel is a 51 foot Flybridge Cruiser that provides the perfect platform for snorkelling and fishing. Your captain will show you some wonderful locations that are within easy reach of the island. The day will be tailored to your specific interests. Your skipper will ensure that you are taken to the best locations for both diving and fishing. The exact location will be dependent on the weather on the day.

Dive the spectacular drop offs on the edge of the outer barrier reef and the sensational coral bommie gardens which abound on the leeward side of the Ribbon Reefs. The Cod Hole, famed for its family of potato grouper and Maori wrasse, is sure to provide the highlight of your reef experience (weather permitting).
