What a wonderful tour! I can’t speak highly enough of the staff who provided such a wonderful experience. The knowledge and information shared is second to none. The bonus for us was the accessibility. My husband uses a wheelchair and the staff made it so easy and were very inclusive which added to the atmosphere. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely wonderful experience I would recommend this to anyone visiting the island. Adam, Gary and Isabella were absolutely amazing people to deal with and we felt very welcomed and safe in this tour. These guys went above and beyond for all of their guests and we would like to thank them very much for a wonderful experience AAA+ from us.

We were blessed with the perfect weather and the crew took us to two great snorkelling spots. We had a few young children in our group and the trip was very accommodating with morning tea close to beach where little kids could run. Later they enjoyed viewing the coral through the looking glass on boogie boards while we adults took turns snorkelling. The boat trip around the island was lovely learning interesting facts and history from Adam, our crew leader. A great day out for our family. Thanks heaps.

Excellent tour around the island with Adam and his friendly crew. Adam picks out the best spots to stop depending on the weather/water conditions and he selected one bay to focus on fish and another bay in deeper water to snorkel above the coral . At our first stop we had ample time to snorkel and to enjoy morning coffee, cake and fruit standing in shallow water. The marine life and birds know to expect a little fishy treat from the boat, so we had exellent sightings of a marlin kite and some large fish. The tour lasted from 8.30 to around 1.30pm. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic day with Yan and Thalia .. highly knowledgeable of the island. We stopped for a delicious morning tea and a swim or use of the stand up paddle boards or just sit or walk along the spectacular beach Visited various bays and stopped for an amazing snorkel at Florence Bay .. so many tropical fish and corals. Thalia and Yan took special attention to safety too. A fabulous day out and can highly recommend this trip

A great tour to see the whole way around the island, learn some history and enjoy some time in the water! Would highly recommend and would definitely do again! Snorkelling was ruled out due to visibility so we talked about shipwrecks and just did swims and paddle boards.
