Ocean Spirit Michaelmas Cay Cruises

Ocean Spirit is a cruise operator with great friendly staff. Visiting Michaelmas was an experience of the lifetime. The Catamaran was up to date, clean and in very good condition with all amenities. Staff is so friendly. …

One of the best reef trips from Cairns. Perfect combination of outer reef experience with great quality corals and diverse wildlife, and relaxing day on a gorgeous catamaran. There's so much space to relax and sunbathe and you only need to share the coral cay with hundreds of stunning birds. The sparkling wine and delicious cakes at the end of the day were a really nice touch. Really recommend!

I absolutely loved the trip I did on Sunday with Ocean Spirit! The weather couldn’t have been better, and I experienced the best snorkelling so far at the Great Barrier Reef. It was my sixth time at the Reef, and I was genuinely surprised by how well preserved Michaelmas Cay is. The coral colours, the variety of fish, and even their size were incredible. I was lucky enough to see the biggest turtle I’ve ever seen on any of my dives, and I also spotted a very cute reef shark! The crew was extremely attentive and informative throughout the day. I loved that they offer the semi-submarine tour and the smaller boat that takes you to the beach. I spent over an hour in the water, came back for a delicious lunch (with vegetarian options), did the semi-submarine tour, and even caught the last boat back to the beach just to swim and relax a little more before heading home. Even travelling solo, I met such lovely people from different countries and had really interesting conversations on board. It was truly an amazing day 🐠☀️ Thank you for making it so special!
