Skipper & crew were the...

Published on Jan, 2025

Skipper & crew were the best, they had a lot of information about the reefs. Get the float vest at the start before leaving the dock. Even if your a good swimmer this makes floating around the reefs so much easier. We didn't regret paying for this experience.

Brilliant !!!

Published on Dec, 2024

Perfect day !!!! This trip was exceptional - reef was beautiful, conditions exceptional… and staff were just brilliant - massive thanks to Reece, Micca, Jamie and Jade (?) all were so lovely. Jade - so sorry if I’ve got the wrong name - was so gracious with her time sharing cool facts and info ! I did see the sleeping giant :) and the day was one we will never forget. And enjoyed the turtles and exceptional reef.

Great experience to see the Great Barrier Reef!

Published on Dec, 2024

Was a great experience. The crew are lovely, so friendly and looked after us really well. Because of tides we could only do one snorkel on the outer reef but went to a fringing reef near an island full of fish! Very professional and good at adapting!

Loads of snorkelling time!

Published on Dec, 2024

Great day out, family of 4. Both girls aged 9 and 14 loved it. The crew, Reece, Jo, Jaime and Kurt were loads of fun, super experienced, helpful, safety conscious and friendly - lots of banter and laughs. Food was lovely, equipment clean and in good order. Coral was amazing, healthy and loads of life! Best we’ve seen (been snorkelling in various locations in Oz and internationally). Would highly recommend for a great day out if snorkelling is your thing! Thanks crew

High recommend, amazing tour guides, Great knowledge and full of energy!

Published on Dec, 2024

Incredible tour with Red Cap, tour guides KP and Sav, they were so fun and made the experience worth every minute. So fun and full of energy, made the trip worth every penny. I was a solo traveller and they looked after me, had an amazing boat ride and snorkelling experience, great knowledge of the islands and sealife. Highly recommend and can only wish you have KP and Sav on your tour!
