Great Family Day

Published on Jan, 2025

Had an amazing day yesterday, the day was well organised, the buffet lunch was nice and there was so much to see and do. Highly recommend!

Beautiful barrier reef

Published on Dec, 2024

Brilliant trip, we both really enjoyed it. Weather wasn't so good in the morning, but it didn't stop you from seeing the fish on the reef

Such a fantastic day - definitely no doubts about repeating the experience!

Published on Oct, 2024

Have been to other islands and parts of the reef. All have been excellent. However, this company and their trip was exceptional and the best so far. Plenty of staff - all very helpful. Free tea and coffee and a very cool, comfortable cabin if you don't want to be out in the sun for the transfer. So many people on the return trip were smiling and laughing having had a great day. Highlight was the optional ocean safari, where you take a small launch from the main catamaran to the edge of the reef to snorkel and the accompanying qualified marine biologist takes you around the various corals talking about and showing various marine life. Slightly choppy that day which actually really added to the excitement! Lovely, clear, water - we saw turtles, 'dorys', nemos etc etc. The island itself is nice too and there are large areas to paddle, swim and snorkel. Nice to have shops on the island, although some things were more expensive than they should be - with a ferry so frequent, there's no excuse - just some basic profiteering going on (nothing to do with this company mind you, just consider bringing your own snacks and water). My only improvement feedback to Big Cat is to have a couple of more extreme prescription masks on-board. I'm as blind as a bat with a -6/-7 prescription and they only had -5.5. The other companies we've used in the past all have masks to -8. (Very easy to fix and won't affect most people.) Overall, we'll be back and will repeat the exact trip - loved it!

Great full day trip to Green Island
