All the details have been described from the travel brochure. Nothing less nor more. Staff are friendly and helpful. They took photos for guests which was awesome for us who didn’t have an underwater camera.

The tour guides Lilly, Linc and Lochie were friendly, humorous, knowledgeable and entertaining for the entire tour. We had kids with us who required some extra assistance in the waves and they helped out without hesitation and made our kids feel very comfortable. The guides made our experience extremely enjoyable amongst the beauty of the Reef and I highly recommend.

The half day was a great way to explore the reef. We got lucky and saw a turtle, shark and stingray. The staff were awesome, loved that they had a gopro to capture pictures of us/sealife so that we could just enjoy the experience!
