RUM RUNNER
Leave the crowds behind as you step off the pristine sands of Cape Tribulation Beach and set sail for The Great Barrier Reef. Surrounded by two breath taking World Heritage areas, you will enjoy a relaxed, fun filled day with the friendly and professional crew of Rum Runner.

Travel time to the reef averages 45-60 minutes, providing guests with a leisurely five hours to explore the magnificent Mackay and/or Undine Reefs.

Rum Runner is the only full day dive boat operator from Cape Tribulation, offering a genuine small group reef experience. Surveyed to accommodate 100 people the Rum Runner limits it's numbers to a maximum of 60 passengers allowing guests plenty of room to lay about enjoying the glorious Queensland sunshine.

First time snorkellers or divers will be cared for by the highly trained crew to ensure your experience is a safe and memorable one. Snorkelling demonstrations are offered on arrival at the reef, and swimming aids are available for your comfort.

The reef site is perfect for beginners and advanced snorkellers alike. The experienced diver has the freedom to enjoy the abundant marine life. Reef Sharks, Turtles, Clown Anemonefish, Trumpetfish, Giant Clams, Spotted Blue Rays, Nudibranchs, Barracuda, Potato Cod, not to mention the awesome variety of hard and soft corals is waiting to be discovered.

The advantages of snorkelling and diving from Cape Tribulation are:

  • Two World Heritage Areas - Cape Tribulation is where the Daintree National Park meets the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park.
  • The reefs are not as subject to the Agricultural run-off and visitor volume of other reefs further south.
  • The reefs accessible from Cape Tribulation are only 19km away compared with far greater distances for reef operators from Cairns.
  • Water visibilty averages 15-25 metres (50-80ft), with water temperatures 21-31 degrees celcius (70-80 fahrenheit).

The large upper deck allows greater comfort and plenty of room for sun-baking. A custom dive deck allows easy access to the water.

Your day includes:

  • Transfers from Cow Bay to Cape Trib
  • Complimentary tea and coffee
  • Fruit platters
  • Tropical buffet lunch
  • Informative and interactive marine brief
  • Complimentary glass of wine
  • All snorkelling gear
  • Lycra/Wetsuits
  • Environmental Management Levy

This trip departs Cape Tribulation 8:30am daily all year round. It returns at approximately 5:00pm to your Cape Tribulation accommodation. Boarding Rum Runner is from the mooring at Cape Tribulation Beach.

GREAT NEWS! All payments made to Travstar do not incur a credit card surcharge.
