Description
Journey through the Great Barrier Reef in luxury with the Gold Class Experience on Down Under Cruise & Dive’s super-yacht, Evolution. From the moment you step out of your door, relax into ultimate comfort as a VIP guest on the award-winning Evolution day cruise.
The Gold Class Experience onboard the Evolution begins with personalised collection from your Cairns accommodation to transport you to your day of adventure. Once at the Reef Fleet Terminal, Down Under Cruise & Dive arrange for a private Marine Biologist concierge to accompany you throughout the Gold Class Experience day tour. When you are ready, it’s time to make your way up to the exclusive Gold Class second floor of the Evolution and enter your very own lounge, offering the best views throughout the day.
Sit back and take in the picturesque scenery as the Evolution departs for 2 incredible Outer Great Barrier Reef locations. Included in your Gold Class package with Down Under Cruise & Tours is a complimentary guided snorkel tour, as well as the chance to view beautiful coral up close on a semi-submersible. In between activities, enjoy the Nespresso coffee machine and well-stocked mini-bar in your private lounge, along with a hot buffet-style lunch at midday.
Throughout the day, you have 5 hours to fully experience the wonders of the Outer Great Barrier Reef with Down Under Cruise & Dive. Simply sit back and take it all in from the luxury of your Gold Class private lounge, or make the most of the resources onboard the Evolution by adding a Scenic Helicopter Flight above the reef, or diving below with an introductory or certified scuba dive. Having had a day to remember, your tour with Down Under Cruise & Dive finishes over a glass of wine and cheese platter on the return cruise to Cairns, while reminiscing on your Gold Class Experience.
