    About an hour ride to Reef with around 25 passengers. Warm on ride out, cooler and more rocky on way back. Reef was great! As with most Snorkeling, hard to communicate with group on time to return to boat or when outside group range. All well organized and enjoyable

    Wish I went with a different company. People fly across the world to be able to do this and it was just underwhelming. They said they were a new company and imo it showed. Rene was a terrible vibe all around, Marie was nice but new and didn’t want to help much in the water, Lincoln was the only one who was very patient helpful and kind. They just acted annoyed when you needed assistance. They even acted annoyed if you’re nervous like what? 😹 They need more helpful guides in the water with you, not everyone is a pro. We are in the middle of the ocean, it’s dangerous so we want a company that will be by our side and be helpful. Obviously people want pics in the water if they’re doing something like this we don’t all live there but she took maybe two pics that were blurry, we had to ask, and it was towards the end. We don’t all live in Australia it’s a once in a lifetime thing for most people. Wasn’t a fan of this company at all, I was disappointed I wasted time. Went with another company and had a much better experience.

    Perfect first snorkel experience, the guides were amazing and the reef was beautiful! They made it so enjoyable and fun, there were children on the boat and they were great with them. Would definitely do this again! Choppy ride though so take a nausea tablet beforehand if you need to!
