Fun short trip, but long enough to visit the reefs and snorkel. It was a cloudy day but no other boats around….so we had the reefs to ourselves. We saw a good variety of colorful fish. (The boat could fit 14, but there was just 8 of us). Our skipper (Matt) was very knowledgeable about the area. Recommend

No pick up to marina & as it was raining we were wet before we started! Comfy speedboat, no waves so easy trip to snorkelling site. Lots of colourful fish. Turtles hiding though. An interesting trip as a contrast to other areas of the reef. Looked after well by skipper & crew.
