Well, next week. From May 27, Uber will be launching an underwater service around Australias Great Barrier Reef.
It has, of course, called the aquatic taxi ScUber.
The trips, which cost AU$1,500 (about $1,000, £800) per person including helicopter transfers, dont quite have Ubers usual flexibility. They will only start from Heron Island if you book between May 27 and June 3, or Agincourt Reef between June 9 and June 18.
If youre worried about the ecological damage you might do by whizzing around a delicate coral reef, dont fret: Uber will be donating $100,000 of the projects proceeds to Citizens of the Great Barrier Reef, an organisation which helps to preserve the reefs fragile ecosystem.
“We're thrilled to partner with Uber to showcase the beauty of the reef through this innovative experience”
Leanne Coddington, Tourism and Events Queensland
Susan Anderson, regional general manager of Uber, Australia and New Zealand said when announcing the new sub-aqua ride share: "At Uber, we believe good things happen when people move – whether that's by getting people from A to B in their city, or by making dreams come true experiencing the world's greatest natural wonder, the Great Barrier Reef.
“We're looking forward to seeing how visitors to the Great Barrier Reef embrace this new form of movement and become advocates of the reef for years to come.”
If the expense is the only thing putting you off this amazing experience, you could just get it all for free.Read More – Source
