About Passions of Paradise

Passions of Paradise is a true local and one of the few left in Cairns. The family owned company built its first catamaran in Cairns in 1987 with the simple aim of providing a fun trip to the reef. In 1997, we cut the boat in half and extended the length by 4 meters. The result was a faster more comfortable ride, with the added bonus of an extended range to access more reefs. Then, in 2003 the "new" boat was built. At 25 meters and built for speed, she revolutionised a day trip to the reef and provided a real alternative to travelling on a motor boat.

At Passions, the day starts and ends with our trip. We don’t own multiple boats, we are not owned by a multi national and we don't have a human resources department. We have always been, and remain, a small dedicated operator focused on providing you with exceptional customer service and a fun day. Our hand picked staff are our most valuable resource and they work hard to ensure that your day on the Great Barrier Reef is a special holiday.
