Cairns Sailing

Cairns Sailing means sailing above and around coral reef!

It means sailing around the largest coral reef in the world - the Great Barrier Reef.

The waters are bright blue and you can see large turtles, whales, dugongs, dolphins and other beautiful marine animals.. and of course, lots of islands and lots of coral reef. The whole experience is just great!
