Uber, in partnership with Queensland and Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef, is running an initiative called scUber from May 27-June 8, offering submarine experiences of the Great Barrier Reef.
The launch will support the ongoing protection and conservation of the world’s largest coral reef system.
scUber will be available for a limited number of riders to request through the Uber app.
The scUber experience will cost $3 000 (R29 860) for two riders and includes:
- Pick-up and drop-off from guests’ location with the Uber app;
- Helicopter ride to either Heron Island (for riders requesting from Gladstone) or the Quicksilver Cruises pontoon off the coast of Port Douglas (for riders requesting from Cairns, Port Douglas and Palm Cove);
- One-hour ride in a scUber submarine;
- Return trip to the original pick-up address with Uber.
Uber’s partnership with Citizens will focus on supporting several initiatives, including the Reef Tracks programme and the Great Reef Census, through a financial and resource investment programme.
