Description

Leave the shore behind in Cairns and join the Spirit of Freedom on a proper dive adventure through the Ribbon Reefs, finishing up at the legendary Cod Hole. This liveaboard trip packs in up to 11 dives, so you'll have plenty of time underwater exploring coral gardens, hanging with clouds of colourful reef fish and, if you're lucky, meeting the giant potato cod that call this stretch of Queensland coast home.

Each day is filled with new underwater scenes - from giant clams and anemones to roaming schools of pelagic fish, all from the comfort of a sleek, spacious vessel. Enjoy daily cabin service, gourmet meals whipped up by the onboard chef, and a glass of Australian wine or soft drink with your dinner.

Saturday takes you to remote Lizard Island (Jiigurru), a real spot to kick off your shoes and wind down. As the sun sets, gather up on the top deck for a BBQ dinner in the secluded Watson's Bay. It's the ultimate way to trade stories and soak in the salty air.

Wrap it all up on Sunday morning with a bit of time to explore Lizard Island before boarding a scenic flight for the journey back to Cairns. If you're travelling in June or July, there's even the chance to spot Dwarf Minke Whales along the way. Adventure sorted, mate.
