Prepare to be captivated by the intricacies of coral reproduction, a majestic spectacle beyond compare. Millions of minuscule cells burst forth from the coral, reminiscent of effervescent champagne bubbles. This dramatic event, lasting only a couple of nights, heralds the arrival of infant corals as they find their place upon the reef to flourish and thrive.

Embark on a night-time coral spawning expedition that promises to be memories you will hold onto for a lifetime. Tusa Reef Tours offers specialized Great Barrier Reef coral spawning night trips departing from Cairns, catering to both divers and snorkelers, where you can witness this extraordinary natural phenomenon before returning to Cairns.

Limited to a maximum of just 40 guests, our evening trip offers the highest level of service, with the lowest guest-to-crew ratios of any Great Barrier Reef tours from Cairns. From the moment your step aboard, our highly trained and knowledgeable crew and marine guides will be on hand to ensure an exceptional evening on the Great Barrier Reef. Your journey to the outer reef will be a short 90-minute voyage, during which you’ll enjoy a full briefing from our Marine Guides on the activities for the evening.

Whether you are a seasoned diver or a beginner snorkeller, our guides will be there to assist you every step of the way. They will point out the best spots to explore and help you identify the vibrant coral and marine life that surrounds you. You will also be provided with unique waterproof bone-conduction underwater headsets that have special Coral Spawning commentary for the evening.

After your snorkelling or diving experiences, fuel up with a delicious dinner prepared with local ingredients and local beers and wines to savour on the journey back from the reef. Throughout the evening, our marine guides will share their extensive knowledge about the Great Barrier Reef ecosystem, and our Master Reef Guide will share a unique Coral Spawning presentation.
