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!

We loved the crew, the boat, the secluded bays, the snorkelling. Morning tea on a secluded beach that can only be accessed by boat was a highlight, as was the snorkelling with fish and coral. This was the highlight of our stay on Magnetic Island, thankyou.

This tour was just the best. Adam and his crew were amazing hosts. So knowledgeable about the island and genuinely caring for all guests on board. We felt so very safe and taken care of both on the boat and in the sea. These guys know their stuff! From all our family trips - this experience is up there as one of the best. Thank you so much guys!
