Excellent

Published on Jan, 2025

Crew members were great and always helpful! Recommend to everyone! Accommodations were very good and boat was easy to board and deboard.

A grand experience

Published on Dec, 2024

Extremely organized and well-staffed.. clear instructions, a/c on, information videos and pamphlets helpful staff, lifeguards for safety organized stinger suits and fins and clean masks, comfortable and offering snacks tea and coffee throughout. Buffet lunch places to sit when wet and also when dry, organized photos professional in water and on boat to buy air drop and or other ways .. they thought of everything! :) unforgettable

There are obviously many tours to choose from.

There are obviously many tours to choose from. This one seems a bit overwhelming because they are promising a lot of activities. Well, they deliver. You are going to have a good time even if you don't want to get wet. My only regret is that I didn't do more. The lunch and snacks were beyond my expectations. The crew was attentive and the marine biologist's commentary was inspiring. I might not get back to this corner of the world soon, but I would do this tour again no questions.

Unforgettable Great Barrier Reef Experience!

Published on Dec, 2024

We had an amazing time on the tour! If was well organized, allowing us plenty of time (~3 hours) for various water activities. Snorkeling and gear were included, and we also opted for the Scuba-Doo experience - a pricey but unforgettable add-on, especially for inexperienced swimmers. Our guides were incredibly helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, making sure we felt comfortable throughout. A valuable tip: rent a Go-Pro on board (AUD 108) to capture unlimited moments, as individual photos from the third-party photography crew on board cost around AUD 35 each. You're also welcome to bring your own Go-Pro. The Great Barrier Reef's breathtaking beauty exceeded our expectations, with stunning underwater landscapes and marine life.

A must do experience in Cairns

Published on Nov, 2024

Did the scuba doo, snorkling, and semi submersible. Would totally recommend doing all these activities. My advice would be to do the semi sub in the second trip of the afternoon as usually the first one is pretty packed. But make sure you get on the second because sometimes they only run 2 in the afternoon. I also recommend to budget a good amount of time to snorkel. There is A LOT you can see and with a life jacket and flippers it doesn't take much energy to stay afloat and moving. The lunch is not bad but honestly it's not the reason you are doing this experience :).
