Cairns based Sunlover Reef Cruises is getting ready to launch another new activity pontoon on the outer Great Barrier Reef from December; its second major pontoon launch in the last six months.
Arlington Reef Tour will provide the first half day option for visitors to Cairns who are still wanting to discover the pristine outer reef system with time in the afternoon to discover the region's other attractions.
In the last 12 months Sunlover has undergone a period of reinvention, all part of a re-positioning strategy which will ready the company to maximise the expected growth into Cairns from both the western and eastern markets.
Half Day Arlington Reef Tour will feature many of Sunlover's signatory activities, including snorkelling over one of the largest reef systems in the region, underwater observatory, marine life tank presentations, glass bottom boat tours, kids enclosed swimming area, fish feeding and more.
Guests will also have access to Sunlovers complete range of optional activities including Introductory and Certified scuba diving, Seawalker Helmet Platform diving, Guided snorkel safari tours as well as access to Heli-Scenic flights with long-time partner, Nautilus Aviation.
Sunlover has also announced a new partnership with the recently opened Cairns Aquarium in delivering to market a package which includes Half Day Arlington Reef plus entry to this amazing new attraction.
“2017 continues to be an exciting year for our company with the launch of our second activity pontoon at Arlington Reef now only weeks away. Our reservations team are now ready to accept bookings for the product, and welcome guests from all over the world for an amazing experience which offers the outer reef in a half day tour.”
“Our company continues to express our confidence in the future of tourism in the Cairns region by investing locally in our infrastructure and our people. It has been many years since Sunlover operated tours to this part of the Great Barrier Reef, and we are proud to introduce visitors to this unique and impressive reef system. “
“Sunlover Reef Cruises strategy is to directly influence the growth of regional tourism by providing world-class experiences for visitors to a World Heritage Area”. General Manager of Sunlover Reef Cruises, Eugene Kotze said.
The launch of Arlington Reef pontoon is part of the company's delivery of a further $2 million upgrade to its Arlington Reef infrastructure. This brings the total investment in 2017 to $6 million.
