Kalvin and Anita were greats guides to the island. Kalvin went into detail about the history of all of Magnetic island and despite the recent weather really made an effort to take us to the most beautiful spots on the island. We were able to see some fish, despite there not being as much visibility on the water. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone going to magnetic island as you learn a lot about its history. In a few weeks I believe the visibility of the water will also be a lot better and you’ll be able to see more of the beautiful reefs on this island.

The whole trip was brilliant. We didn’t snorkel due to the weather conditions however the guys made the trip just as enjoyable, feeding the fish and birds so we got to see wildlife in its natural habitat.
