FAQs About Silverswift

The Silverswift Outer reef experience departs at 8.30am and returns at 4.30pm, however they ask for you to check into the Reef Fleet terminal from 7.30am-8.30am so you can board the boat in time. You are then taken to 3 outer reef sites totalling around 5 hours in the Great Barrier reef for snorkelling and diving if you wish.

Silverswift is so popular because it takes you to 3 outer reef sight in the Flynn Reef, Milln Reef and Pellowe Reef. At some of these sights Silverswift have the exclusive right to be there so you will be the only people at those reef sights for the day! This makes the coral exquisite and the fish are plenty.

Absolutely! You can do either introductory or certified dives as an optional extra on Silverswift and still snorkel when you’re not under the water.

Of course! On board Silverswift there is a professional underwater camera that can take high quality pictures of you as you snorkel and/or Dive. These pictures are the perfect opportunity to show off to your friends and family about your experience under the water. After the picture is taken you can go and find the photographer on the boat and purchase your collection.

Shout out to Max for his guidance! He listened to my requirements and helped me figure out what I really wanted, and he explained the options in depth. With his help, I was able to have a fun day combining a flight over the reef with an excursion to Fitzroy island. All bookings went smooth. Great service!

Traveled to Cairns and took a day trip to Palm Cove where Charlotte helped create the best experience! I highly recommend working with her for any travel or vacation services.

So happy with the service and help I received from these guys, huge shout out to Tony ( absolute legend ) for helping me with all my questions and two bookings- fishing charter and 2 intro dives + snorkel with Divers den. I did a whale watching tour in Sydney, and then came here and while heading to the reef for the dive, we got to see a humpback whale breach the water at least a dozen times ! The first breach from this whale in cairns, would have beaten the whole tour in Sydney and it was an entire seperate experience as well (dive). Absolutely 1000% recommend these guys and any of their recommendations and advice when planning your trip and activities in cairns.
