-------------------------
We went out from Cape Tribulation with "The Rumrunner", which is a 14 m * 8 m (40 ft * 25 ft) motorised sailing catamaran with a cruising speed of 12 knots.
We had a fantastic day at the Reef. We were picked up at Cape Tribulation Camping at 8.30 am and returned late afternoon. The travel time to the Reef is a couple of hours, and you have 4-5 hours with diving and snorkelling at the Reef. Lunch is included in the trip, and you are guided the whole day by a friendly and professional staff.
Remember to bring: Sunscreen, swimwear, towel, cash (or credit card), camera (waterproof) and medication for motion sickness.
We booked the tour at the caravan park in Cape Tribulation. Address: The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef is only 45mins from Cape Trib and with a maximum of 30 people on the boat you are always going to have a better experience than with 400 people from Port Douglas or Cairns. Mackay reef has no platform, you simply jump off the boat and your swimming with Nemo. The Lunches are great smorgasboards and having 5 hours on the reef gives you a decent opportunity to sunbake. You also get to meet the local crew on board whom you can catch up with later down the pub. Other activities are Horse Riding, Jungle Surfing, Kayaks, Croc Cruises, Full day treks through the rainforest, 4wd tours, beach parties and generally just hanging out.
