Moore Reef Pontoon
Positioned at Moore Reef is an activity platform with many ways in which you can access and see the Great Barrier Reef.
Snorkel in the naturally coral-fringed lagoon, where professional lifeguards keep watch. There are two snorkel platforms on the pontoon, with water access via stairs, making it easy to explore Moore Reef. An enclosed ocean pool is ideal for young children to swim in the sea at wading height, while a slide down the 30-meter spiral waterslide is a wonderful way to enter the tropical ocean.
If you prefer to stay dry, there are still plenty of options to explore. A semi-submersible tour is a great way to tour the Reef without jumping in the water, while a glass-bottom boat tour provides views from above. Onboard the pontoon, visit the underwater observatory to view the impressive natural fish tank with views of the outer reef coral and marine life. A visit to the touch tank gets you up close to marine life while learning about this unique ecosystem.
