A LOCAL’S discount is up for grabs as the first ever guests prepare to dive in to a new Reef Magic pontoon experience.
The $7m Experience Co pontoon is now installed at Moore Reef and opens on Tuesday.
Usually $279 for adult and $139 for kids will get you a day at the state-of-the art outer reef pontoon but with a 30 per cent local’s discount day trippers can now book departing the Reef Fleet Terminal for $195.30 per adult and kids get on-board for $97.30.
Expect expert marine biologists doing fish feeding and talks, free snorkel gear and lyrca suit hire, access to the underwater observatory, free glass bottom boat and semi submersible tour and a fresh lunch catered by award-winning Cairns restaurant Ochre.
Helmet diving is also available using an underwater platform that loops around the triple deck pontoon to offer one of the longest circuits on the Great Barrier Reef.
Adding to the guest experience is a purpose-built on-board marine science laboratory. Marine biologists will be available to take guests through the reef research and conservation work being done on-board.
“Experience Co has been operating touring on the Great Barrier Reef for many years including snorkelling and diving tours and Island day trips,” company chief executive officer John O’ Sullivan said.
“This rich history provides us with deep insights into how to curate experiences which will be of strong appeal to travellers when they visit our new Reef Magic pontoon.”
