Boat Description

Wake up and watch the sunrise over the Great Barrier Reef while voyaging on the Ocean Quest liveaboard. Recently refurbished in 2017, the 36 metre catamaran can accommodate up to 48 guests within 22 cabins, with a choice of twin-berth or double-berth cabins. All cabins are equipped with air-conditioning and an en-suite. Onboard the Ocean Quest there is a large lounge with a fully-stocked bar and entertainment system as well as a separate dining room serving freshly prepared meal three times a day. On the sun decks, there is ample room for warming up between dives while lounging in the Australian sun. Ideal for snorkelers, certified and introductory divers, guests can choose to explore Cairns from 1 to 5 nights. Dependant on the length of the trip, guests will have the chance to visit the Norman, Saxon, and Hastings Reef where guests can discover the beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Manta rays, minke whales, reef shark, and turtles can be encountered.
