Kalvin and Anita were...

Published on Feb, 2025

Kalvin and Anita were greats guides to the island. Kalvin went into detail about the history of all of Magnetic island and despite the recent weather really made an effort to take us to the most beautiful spots on the island. We were able to see some fish, despite there not being as much visibility on the water. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone going to magnetic island as you learn a lot about its history. In a few weeks I believe the visibility of the water will also be a lot better and you’ll be able to see more of the beautiful reefs on this island.

Great family experience

Excellent day on the water. Crew were so friendly, knowledgeable and ensured we stopped and snorkelled at the best bays according to the weather. They cater for all ages, and levels of swimming & snorkelling experience. Highly recommend to all. Well worth the money!

Amazing adventure, even in the wet season.

We have just moved to the Island and this was the perfect way to see Maggie Island from a different perspective. We had some bad weather to contend with, but the amazing crew rolled with it and gave us the best experience they could. Maggie is so profoundly beautiful, even in the rain. Our kids loved the adventure and thought the rough ride home was the highlight. We were not expecting a 50% refund at all, thank you to Kalvin and the crew, we will absolutely be returning for another adventure in the future.

Despite some less than ideal weather - still a great experience

Published on Jan, 2025

Really great tour, seen a lot of the island and went to some great snorkelling spots. Kalvin our skipper and the team was great. Had some bad weather near the end of the tour but all and all was a great experience, and navigating the rougher waves was actually quite fun.

Fantastic Staff

Published on Jan, 2025

We explored the fringing reefs as part of UQ CoralWatch youth ambassador program and found the vessel and staff to be 5star. Adam and Jack are very knowledgeable and run a great program.
