Australia Diving, Snorkeling & Sailing Tours

Do something different for your tropical vacation and make your Great Barrier Reef adventure truly unique. Experience scuba diving and snorkeling on the beautiful outer edge of Australia's Great Barrier Reef in small intimate groups.
Locally owned and operated, New Horizon Sail & Dive Adventures has been operating adventure tours to the Cairns reefs, Australia since 1995 and are consistently rated one of the best trips on the Great Barrier Reef. Our charter yachts take a maximum of only 12 guests, so you’ll receive the personal attention not possible on the larger tour vessels.  No hectic schedules allows you to have a stress free vacation.  You just snorkel, dive, & relax on the Great Barrier Reef.

Listen to the great times our previous guests had: We very much enjoyed this trip- our first time on a sailing boat. The whole crew took so much care of us. Thanks, thanks, thanks. And such a great experience to see the reef: very interesting explanations on the reef and fish from our captain! This is definitely the best souvenir we will take home to Paris. -Claudia & Marc - France -July-2008

Relax and enjoy Great Barrier Reef Diving, Snorkeling and Sailing Charters from Cairns, Australia. The smallest number of divers and snorkelers are taken on our Great Barrier Reef Tours, 12, yes that's right only twelve people for that more personal experience. The scuba diving and snorkeling sites we sail to are not frequented by the large boats, so you get to experience something different. These outer reefs are chosen for their unique coral formations & abundant marine life. We want you to have the holiday you have been looking forward to. So it’s up to you how you want to spend your reef liveaboard adventure. You can explore the Cairns reefs and enjoy activities including snorkelling, introductory & certified scuba diving. If you’re looking for a little more relaxing trip, simply come aboard with a great book and enjoy the serenity and the beauty of the Great Barrier Reef. If you wish you can join in and help sail the boat or just ‘supervise’ from the deck. Our objective is to allow you to experience the reef at your own pace. Our knowledgeable, environmentally aware and friendly crew will pay every attention to your comfort and well being.  Our company is focused and actively participates in assisting researchers and environmental protection and awareness projects for coral reefs and marine life globally.
All done to ensure that you return from your Australian scuba dive and sail adventure with fantastic memories to last a lifetime. Private yacht charters around the Cairns reefs and islands are available on all our sailing yachts for every occasion. This includes scuba diving clubs, managerial off-sites, team building events, or intimate affairs such as family vacations, small groups, engagements, weddings, reunions, team building exercises and friends just travelling together on their Australia vacation. Come and join us the the tropical vacation you deserve!
