5.00We may have had the weather against us today with 45k/hr winds, but Drew made the trip as enjoyable as possible. Didn’t catch a lot of fish, but half the fun is in trying. Weren’t able to snorkel either due to the winds as the water was very stirred up, but we visited some lovely bays which provided some shelter. Overall a great day with Drew and would recommend!! The Sealink Ferry drops you at Nelly Bay, and for $1/day, Translink will bus you over the Horseshoe Bay for the tour. Once tour is finished, you can use you bus pass to travel the rest of the island with plently of stops available to explore all Megnetic Island has to offer.

2.00Not as advertised. States "we" a one man small tini, with modern fishing ext , old hand reels only , fishing , catch and release, no fishing to keep as advertised . No social media slowed because your catching fish where you shouldn't be ! Disappointed , was expecting the real deal. Minimal shade on small beat up old tini set up. Expected something more , expected what was written in the promo .
Fabulous snorkeling ecperience and day on the water

5.00Lovely small tour. Some great snorkeling. Handfishing was nice but not much was caught. Our guide was knowledgeable and we enjoyed the tour immensely. The snacks were basic but perfectly timed and the equipment was in good repair.
