There was some swell out of the north but the boat handled it well and the crew put us in two terrific locations for snorkeling as well as a beach stop and a pause in a calm bay for a delightful morning tea. It was great to learn more about the history of the island while having opportunities to see island birds (including several beautiful Brahminy Kites) and huge reef fish up close. The crew was able to accommodate a reluctant swimmer on the floating pontoon so that no one missed out on a great experience. I can 100% recommend their tours!

This trip was absolutely the highlight of our trip to Maggie. The crew were super friendly and accommodating to everyone on board, including our family of four including a seven year old and a non swimmer. If you do nothing else on Maggie, book a tour with these guys!!!!!

Great informative 5 hr tour around this magic island! The tour guides, Jack and Dan were fantastic and lots of fun. We had a fabulous morning tea and showed them how to surf a paddleboard! I recommend this tour to couples families and singles as these tour operators know how to do it right! Thanks guys, we hope to see you again real soon! Neil, Ali and Vicki

Though the seas were pretty choppy, we felt safe with our guides, Yan and Jack. They took us to several bays and coves before finding a quieter spot for a lovely morning tea, consisting of delicious fresh fruit, banana bread and some sweets. Later, we found two places to snorkel. The water wasn't particularly cooperative, but we were impressed by their capacity to navigate the waters. Overall, we had a wonderful experience.

Lovely crew, always ready to help everybody. It was amazing to see the coral and the beautiful spots in the island. I loved the views from the ship and the snacks too. Thanks from a Spaniard.

I loved this tour! Jan and Jack were both awesome. Their knowledge and love of the island was clear. They were also the perfect hosts making us all feel welcome and respected. Morning tea was delicious served by the crew in a sheltered part of the bay. The watersports were great fun. We saw birds and fish. It really exceeded my expectations. I particularly loved that we weren't rushed and that the tour was flexible owing to the higher than expected swells and wind. The communication before and after the tour were also excellent Would highly recommend this and wish I had the opportunity to do another tour with you. Thank you for a fabulous day.

We had the best time on our tour around Magnetic Island. The staff were friendly, knowledgeable and extremely helpful especially fitting everyone out with snorkelling gear. Nothing was too much trouble. We stopped at the most beautiful beaches and the fish and corals were spectacular. Would love to go it all again.

Had such a good time! I can’t swim but the team was so friendly and had swimming aids so I felt safe in the water. I already want to do this again. Such a good vibe and happy experience!
