With us you will see more fish than people as we take you to the best kept secrets on the reef. We'll take you there; the Great Barrier Reef and there's nothing like that in the whole world. We organize excursions under sail to a remote sand cay at the edge of Upolu Reef. The voyage begins in Cairns and involves a 2-hour journey offshore. During the passage the crew will involve you in all or any of the ship's operations, from setting sails to steering a course.
Some passengers are ready to take a guided certified dive, some will be taking a hand-held SSI introductory dive, some will enjoy a guided snorkel, and some may be learning to do it all for the first time. The user-friendly nature of Upolu Reef never ceases to amaze us on Seahorse. Twenty nautical miles out to sea and you can't wait to get into the aquarium!
"Our Aquarium"
Upolu Reef is a mid-shelf reef, as are all the reefs offshore Cairns. Only ten percent of the reefs on the Great Barrier Reef have ephemeral islands developing on them, sand cays as they are known. These island beaches, in the middle of the ocean, are sensitive areas and, by permit, only a small number of boats with small passenger numbers are accessing these sand cays.
In the relatively sheltered reef lagoon with less than three metres of water you will see: striped fish, giant clams, sea turtles, spotted fish, rays, sea stars, more fish, maybe a dugong grazing, an abundance of fish, nudibranchs, and lots more colourful fish! Our marine naturalist will help you to identify them and tell you something of their lives in the reef community.
There is nothing that compares to the Great Barrier Reef in sheer size. It is truly one of nature's richest realms! You can't do it all in one day. Many of our guests return for a second trip. Our limit on passenger numbers ensures that you will see more fish than people.
Our New Boat
The purpose built Seahorse Sailing Cat is the new Reef Dive Boat. Ideally suited to the Reef day trip, this new vessel sails fast and stable. Those who know the Seahorse ride will be pleasantly surprised in all ways. |
