5.00Lovely, knowledgeable guide, awesome experience especially with little kids as the boat is very safe. Nice touch with the fish food, the kids absolutely loved feeding them and watching the fish all flock to the food! Great service with the bus drop off and pickup too, very friendly driver. Thanks so much we loved it!
A great time.

5.00I took this tour with my teenage son and we enjoyed observing the corals around the Shute Harbour bay. The lady who was narrating the experience was knowledgeable and we were always encouraged to ask questions about what we are seeing. It would be nice to see more fish around the corals. This is a nice short first experience of coral reefs around Airlie Beach and is suitable for all ages so it might get quite loud with many small children on board. The crew were very friendly and welcoming making sure everyone had a good time.
Great knowledge and skilled operators.

5.00Very knowledgeable crew on board and very skilled at manoeuvring the vessel to get the best view and so everyone gets a look. We went when the waters were very clear and seen lots of varied marine life.
