    Don’t go out on rough days, not a pleasant boat ride on rough seas, many people were vomiting and unwell Staff not overly friendly, looked tired and like they didn’t want to be there

  • Stunning Location, Disappointing Experience

    The snorkelling was really cool, the boat itself was nice, and the food on board was tasty. Unfortunately, the day as a whole felt very unorganised. Staff seemed flustered, often arguing with each other about roles and responsibilities, and weren’t particularly friendly or welcoming towards customers. A big disappointment was the introductory scuba diving. Many people, including my boyfriend, were sent back after not passing the quick skills test. When he asked what he was doing wrong, he wasn’t given any explanation — just told he couldn’t do it. For something advertised as beginner-friendly, it felt frustrating and unclear. Overall, while the reef itself was beautiful, the lack of organisation and customer care really let the experience down.

  • Perfect Day (SCUBA)

    Fantastic!!! The reef locations were the best out of the other tour companies I also tried. The food (lunch) was also very good, breakfast and snacks were also offered. The boat was full, but Gabriel, our guide, took us diving in a small group of 3. Gabriel was awesome!! Highly recommend this for SCUBA.

  • Highly recommend!!!

    Awesome day out. Snorkeling was amazing Very well organised. Lots of good information about what we would see and well explained about the scuba diving. Your introductory dive is for about 20 mins.

    We had best diving and snorkelling experience, i don’t know how to swim but the crew was so friendly and the female instructor was so good, as i was feeling so scared and she assured me so many times and made it a memorable experience for me. My friend was gone with the male instructor and she mentioned that he showed her all the fishes and reef. But we are bit disappointed by the bus driver who came to pick us up. He saw us standing and still moved away and left us without even communicating and we had to call the customer service at-least 4 times to make sure if anyone is coming to pick up. We had to wait an hour during pick up time and whole time we were standing outside our resort as they mentioned that we have to be outside five minutes before our pickup, and same thing happened during drop off time, bus driver left us and other lady, and he picked up people from other cruises and didn’t even text or call as our cruise was bit late.
