This is your opportunity to take part in Ocean Swims swim directly above and over the Great Barrier Reef – designated one of the Seven Wonders of the Natural World – can it get any finer? Their swims are a unique opportunity to enjoy this phenomenon of a race above beautiful coral, sea life and the crystal clear near transcendental aqua blue ocean. For any ocean or open water swimmer – this is the true bucket list swim. Held on Sunlover's Pontoon on the Southern end of Moore Reef, 50 kilometres off Cairns.
