4.00We were unable to book a trip out to the Great Barrier Reef, so we booked this one instead. This boat tour was nice and the crew was very friendly. We stayed inside the small harbor and looked at the coral and fish through the glass bottom.
Disappointing

3.00If your going book make sure it’s a good time. Cause we book when it was a full moon which normally means high ties & more water movement which means you don’t get to see much cause the water is murky
