Poseidon Outer Reef Cruises offers a five star cruise to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. The 24m, ultra modern high speed catamaran is the perfect vessel to experience the reef.
Poseidon departs daily, visiting three spectacular sites on the outer edge of the Agincourt Ribbon Reefs. The Agincourt Reefs are renowned as being the best reefs accessible in a day trip. The crystal-clear waters, beautiful corals and incredible fish life found at the Agincourts, 70kl North East of Port Douglas, enables Poseidon to offer the best possible day boat diving and snorkeling.
Poseidon caters to snorkellers, introductory and certified divers. Divers can enjoy up to three guided dives, using large tanks and dive computers for extended bottom time. The dives include drift dives, wall dives, and isolated pinnacles surrounded by pelagic fish and coral gardens. Dives take place from either the main vessel at our mooring site, a live boat drift dive back to the main vessel or from our dive tender for more inaccessible dive sites.
Snorkellers can enjoy unrestricted exploration of shallow lagoons and spectacular drop-offs, with an unbelievable variety of fragile corals and colourful fish life. We offer a Reef Interpretation Talk giving information on the history and ecology of the reef system, followed by a Guided Snorkel Tour where marine life is explained and identified.
Poseidon has limited passenger numbers which offers personal service and individual attention. Our guests are looked after by 10 highly qualified crew members to ensure there is plenty of help on hand to assist both experienced and beginner divers and snorkellers.
Poseidon is owned and operated by a local Port Douglas family, with 28 years of experience in the marine tourism industry. Being a family business with hands on management of the operation, Poseidon is committed to offering an exceptional reef experience.
