5.00Great day out with Kalvin and the crew. They are very knowledgeable of the area and were happy to answer all of our questions. The island itself is beautiful and the snorkelling and stand up paddle boarding was lots of fun. We saw HUGE fish and lots of coral reef.
Incredible experience with a knowledgeable crew

5.00Amazing day! We took our young kids (5 and 7) and they had a blast. Even swam with a turtle! The morning tea was yummy, but recommend taking lunch especially if you have kids. We packed chicken sandwiches in a small cooler and it worked out perfect.
Do not miss this. WOW WOW WOW

5.00We had an amazing day. It was a great all-round experience - there was history, swims, fish feeding, snorkeling ( the most varieties of coral that I have ever seen), beautiful morning tea, experienced, knowledgeable, friendly and helpful staff...Kalvin was amazing. I'm a local but had never been all the way around the island before. A very special trip. Booking with Aquascene was easy, great communication and very helpful. Great that we could be picked up from Townsville too.
The perfect day

5.00The skipper and crew did everything possible to make it very nice. We had a great place to snorkel and to have a lovely morning tee. We navigated around the whole island, the skipper told us about the history of the island included the wrack
Highly recommend!
