Michaelmas Cay, Cairns, Queensland, Australia Located 22 nautical miles (40 km) from Cairns, the same as the distance across the English Channel, and close to the outer reef systems, Michaelmas Cay is the largest of the uninhabited coral cays in the Cairns region; in fact it is huge in comparison.
Seastar is the first vessel to arrive at Michaelmas Cay. Very few tour vessels are now permitted access to this sensitive island and now there are only two which travel daily that are permitted the right to use and access the Cay. 120 minutes
Great Barrier Reef, Cairns, Queensland, Australia Our second location where we stop is Hastings reef, part of the outer Great Barrier Reef.
Hastings Reef is located 30 nautical miles out from Cairns and is a typical outer reef, on most days a line of breakers marks where the deep ocean swells break onto the reef wall. The reef itself is shallow on top, with steep sides reminiscent of cliffs falling away into the surrounding water. 120 minutes
75 Esplanade, Cairns City QLD 4870, Australia After visiting Michaelmas Cay and Hastings Reef and enjoying the food provided on board our air conditioned vessel, we will drop you back off at the Esplanade, hoping you had a fantastic experience with us! 30 minutes

Great day. Nice crew
I begin by the warm welcome by the Skipper Matt and the rest of the crew.
One of the Big advantage of this tour is tha t is a relatively small tour (about 30) wich makes everything more friendly and familiary.The boat travells at a good speed so it doesn’t take to long to arrive at the first spot in Michaelms Bay a sand Island. Everything is well organized so it flows very well. Go for snorkelling or diving but either way the crew is on the water to help and guide us for a tour in the best spots of the Reef with no rush. Time for a lunch and then we go to the second dive. All goes the same way with 2 hours for snorkelling and then return
At the end you get a complimentary photos of the day at the Facebook site of the company
Loved the day and I definitely recomend Seastar cruises
