Hastings Reef is located 30 nautical miles out from Cairns and is a typical outer reef, on most days a line of breakers marks where the deep ocean swells break onto the reef wall. The reef itself is shallow on top, with steep sides reminiscent of cliffs falling away into the surrounding water.Seastar Cruises

The boat was a bit tight for 35 people, but the entire experience was worth it. All the crew members were as friendly and professional as can be, and they worked like a tight-knit family. The two reef snorkeling experiences were awesome!
